ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

 ONE THING IS NEEDFUL 

Luke 10 (KJV)

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said unto her, 

Martha, Martha, thou art careful (anxious)

and troubled (disturbed) about many things:

⁴² But....: 

ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

and Mary HATH CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART, 

which shall not be taken away from her.

Mary had chosen to spend time listening and learning at the feet of Jesus.

There were many things at that moment to distract her.  

Things that needed to get done.

They had guests to feed and care for.

Martha was anxiously scurrying around to make sure the needs of others were met. 

Seems to be very important and very needful.

YET ONE THING IS MORE NEEDFUL....

Time spent with Jesus. 

Mary realized she couldn't help feed others 

UNTIL she had spent time being fed Spiritual food by the Master.

She CHOSE the GOOD PART (time in His Presence).

ONE THING IS NEEDFUL,

more than any other responsibility we may have.

Every time we pray and read our Bible, 

Every time we attend Church or Bible study and hear the Word preached, taught, and expounded,

We are CHOOSING THAT GOOD PART.

Jesus said it shall not be taken away from us.

ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

Are you choosing that Good Part?
