Luke 10:40-43 (King James Version)
40But 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.
41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Here we see a woman by the name of Martha, she was more concerned about working, then spending time to develop her spiritual makeup. You see in life, work will always be there, but it's what you invest in yourself that will make you more productive in life.
Martha thought working and preparing the lunch and setting all the silverware out was more important than allowing her soul- which is made up of our mind, will, and emotions to be renewed and developed.
1. Take time to spend in reading the Word.
2. Don't allow the work you have to consume your life to the place all you see when people come in contact with you is more work.
3. Don't complain about what you tolerate. Martha was complaining about something that she was tolerating, and that was selfishness. She wanted Mary to do what she was doing. Make sure that we are not complain about things in our life we are tolerating.
God Bless,
Pastor
