Luke 10: 38-42
Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
Main point: One thing is necessary.
Why don’t we choose the “one thing” and sit at Jesus’ feet?
1.) We are distracted.
2.) We are anxious and troubled about many things.
3.) We think Jesus doesn’t care.
“No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God’s often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great.” —Tim Keller

5 Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.

You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
