The Better Choice

Luke 10:38-42 (NIV) - 38  As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39  She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40  But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" 41  "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42  but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Mary, Martha’s sister, was in Martha’s home when Jesus arrived.

Mary sat at Jesus’ feet.

Her posture demonstrated her desire to learn from Jesus.

Mary listened to what Jesus said.

Her attentiveness proved her desire to learn from Jesus.

Mary chose to listen to Jesus.

Her choice was better.

Each of us can sit at the feet of Jesus through prayer, mediation and Scripture reading.

It is a choice each of us must each make.

It is the better choice.

My prayer for you today is that you will sit at the feet of Jesus.

Expecting God’s Best,
