In (Luke 10:38-42) we're told of how two sisters, Martha and Mary, acted when Jesus was with them. Martha was busy serving all of
food while Mary sat at feet of Jesus.Martha showed how upset she was at her sister. She basically asked Jesus to tell Mary to get up and help her instead of just sitting there.
Jesus told her that she was careful and troubled about many things but only one part was needed and Mary had chosen that good part.
Martha How does this affect you? Which one of sisters are you acting like? Are you acting like Martha did in her hurried work for Master?
Sometimes we can be too busy to even listen to God. It's really sad but even if you're doing work in a church for Lord, you might miss most important part...
The thing is that Martha did work but her mind was not where it should have been. She was troubled. She was disturbed.
She was stressing and thinking about how much work she was doing -which was more than someone else! She was getting more and more frustrated and upset while she was working...
She wasn't really listening to what Jesus was saying even though she was serving Him food!
Try it! Talk to someone and while you're talking to them, have them tell you something. How much did you understand them? Did you understand what they said at all?
When you're talking to someone it's rather difficult to hear them if they start talking to you!
It's possible sometimes to catch part of it -but if doing it in an everyday, normal way it's even more difficult than during a short test!
