----JESUS LONGS FOR OUR FELLOWSHIP~~


--(Please read Luke 10:38-42)
--"One thing is
needed, and Mary has
chosen that good part."
-(v.42)~~

--Sometimes good things take us away from something better. That happened in the life of Martha, whose story is recorded in Luke 10:38-42). When Jesus and His disciples arrived in the village of Bethany, Martha welcomed them into her home. Being a good host meant that someone had to prepare the meal for the guests, so we don't want to be too hard on her.

When Martha complained that her sister Mary wasn't helping, Jesus defended Mary's choice to sit at His feet. But the Lord wasn't saying that Mary was more spiritual than her sister. On occasion Martha seems to have shown more trust in Jesus than Mary did (John 11:19-20). And He wasn't being critical of Martha's desire to look after their physical needs. Rather, what the Lord wanted Martha to hear is that in the busyness of our service, listening to Him is the main event.

'Dear Lord, help me to remember that my service for You
is important, but it can never take the place of intimate
fellowship with You.' amen~~
