THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Luke 10:41-42

And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 127:1-5; Matthew 6:25-34; Luke 10:17-42

Many people today miss the hour of their visitation by the LORD because just like Martha, they are worried about material things rather than spending time feeding upon the Word of God. In Luke 10:38-42, while Martha welcomed Jesus Christ into her home, she never had time to listen to Him. Instead she was distracted with much serving. Mary, unlike Martha, sat at Jesus Christ’s feet and heard His Word. When Martha complained to Jesus Christ saying, “LORD do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me,” Jesus Christ answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Many people even when they go to their different Churches every day, they never have time to listen to the Word of God which gives them eternal life. Remember we can here on an assignment, that is to do the will of God the Father. To hear the Word of God and do what it says to us and win souls from darkness unto His marvelous light. Many are busy attending to administrative matters. When they pass on from this world, all that will be said about them is how much they served in different positions in the Church rather than how they spent time listening to the Word of God and doing the Word of God. A person may do a lot of administrative work in the Church while he does not have the love of God at work in his life. It is only when you meditate upon the Word of God and do it that you can have eternal life. Today I want you to examine yourself whether you are not like Martha who while she welcomed Jesus Christ into her home, she could not find time to listen to the message of Salvation of her soul because of too much serving. Matthew 6:33 says, “But, seek, first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Alleluia!

Prayer

Help me LORD Jesus Christ to be able to prioritize the right things in life. Help me to first seek You and then all the other things to follow. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
