Luke 10:41-42 "And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her".
We have been called into the service of the Lord. We are Ambassadors for Christ, chosen to bear fruit and fruit that will last. But often we get to busy doing other things that we don't take the time to commune with the Lord. Sometimes we get so busy and so troubled with doing, that we don't take the time to hear and study the word of the Lord.
In our text today Jesus is at the house of Mary and Martha. Mary is sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to Him in obedient worship, while Martha on the other hand is busy serving and busing herself in the worldly affairs. She then complains to Jesus and ask that He ash Mary to help her, but Jesus lets her know that there is only one thing that man needs in life and that Mary has chosen that good part. See there is nothing man needs more important than a relationship with Christ. In fact the word of God says to seek ye first the kingdom of God and the other stuff will be added to you. What Martha was doing was important, but what Mary was doing was more important.
We can't go out into a dying world and bear witness to something that we ourselves have not witnessed. Until we come to know God for ourselves we can't even begin to tell someone else about Him. Let us not get so busy in worldly cares that we neglect our time with the Lord. Let us be sure to choose that thing which is needed and which can never be taken from us. Let us make Jesus our choice.
