LUKE 10:38-42
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 few things are needed;or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
This passage touches my heart dearly...
As Mary sat at the feet of Jesus, she was at the perfect place to learn. Her mind and heart was in the right place and she was exactly where she was supposed to be. However, ( once again) carnal minded people think carnal thoughts. Leave it to her sister, Martha, to get in her feelings and then have the audacity to question Jesus!!! Jesus had to check her... He literally told her to leave her alone!!!
Of course Martha was doing the typical womanly things like the cooking and cleaning, but Mary knew that at a time like that, she had to be close. She situated herself in the right place, which is at the feet of Jesus. She was at the throne of grace getting everything that she could!!!!
Once again, Mary didn't have to utter a word!!!! Jesus automatically speaks on her behalf!!! He does the samefor us! If our God is for us, who can be against us??? Nobody!!!! When we are about our Father's business, doing what we are called to do, those carnal minded with their carnal thoughts need to hear one thing and one thing only..."Just Mind Ya Bidness!!!"
