Meditate
On
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.”
Luke
10:41–42
Take From Jesus
You
know the story—Martha was busy serving Jesus while her sister, Mary, sat at His
feet and drew from Him words of life. Martha didn’t like it that Mary wasn’t
helping her, so she complained about it to Jesus.
Who
do you think Jesus defended? He defended Mary.
Many
believers think that it’s better to give than to receive. Now, that’s true in
our relationships with people. But when it comes to our relationship with the
Lord, it’s better to RECEIVE from Him than to try to give to Him! Jesus
describes Himself as the “bread of life”, in essence telling us that He wants
us to partake of Him and receive from Him all the nourishment, strength,
healing, provision and abundant life we can take!
Beloved,
our Lord loves it when we take from Him. That’s why Mary pleased Jesus. So I
encourage you to be a Mary today. Our loving Savior loves it when we draw from
His unending reservoir of strength, wisdom, favor, peace and life!
