The Better Part

Scripture:

Luke 10:38-42

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 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!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Example:

When you feel overwhelmed with tasks at work, like Martha, take a moment to pray and ask Jesus for guidance. Just as Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet, remind yourself to prioritize time with Him, even in the middle of a busy day.

Reflection:

It's easy to be consumed by what needs to be done, but Jesus calls us to something greater—time with Him. Like Mary, choose the better part by intentionally pausing to focus on Jesus. In His presence, you will find rest and clarity.

Are you prioritizing time with Jesus in your day?

How can you set aside time to be at His feet today?
