Luke 10:38-42 CSB (Focus verse 39)
38 While they were traveling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.”
41 The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”
In a recent study I did, the author encouraged us to put ourselves in the stories we read in the Bible. Try substituting your name for “Mary.” Envision yourself sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening as He teaches. How are you sitting? On your knees? Holding your knees in front of you? Criss cross applesauce? Can you sit still, or do you find yourself fidgeting? Can you even focus on what He is saying? I mean, really, this is JESUS!!
What is Jesus saying to you today? Slow down and listen. Sit at His feet, open your Bible, and focus on His teaching…
