Luke 10
³⁸ Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
⁴⁰ But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
⁴² But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Many find their worth and feeling of importance in what they DO for Jesus, but more important than what you DO for Jesus is how much TIME you spend in His Presence.
Mary sat at the feet of Jesus, listening, and learning. She was in the posture of one being discipled. Disciples begin as followers then mature into teachers of the Word and disciple others.
While ministry of helps is needful, Jesus desires our spiritual service above that. Take time and make time to spend in His presence through prayer and Bible reading. Time with Jesus is priority above all else.
