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.’
Luke 10:40
It is amazing how often Jesus was asked to give commands that other people wanted. Martha could have come and politely asked for her sister’s help. But instead of addressing her sister, she chooses to question Christ.
Martha couldn’t take the time to learn. She was too busy making sure everyone had what they needed. Now, the fact is, what Martha was doing was important. And Mary could share in the work. But, it was more important for Martha to share in the learning.
Heavenly Father, may we never forget just how precious it is that we can know You! A relationship with You is the most amazing thing any being could ever experience. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
