Luke 10:41-42, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful (anxious) and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
The Lord impressed this scripture upon my heart this week. I am always trying to focus on too many things and, thus, many things get done but not very well. I have to prepare for a school lesson, be caught up in my reading, spend time with the Lord, clean my house, spend time with my family, wash clothes, spend time helping the kids through their lessons, empty the dishwasher, exercise, prepare dinner, prepare a Sunday School lesson......deep intake of breath. There is just not.enough.time.in.a.day. Yet recently He used this scripture to remind me that only one thing is needful. Not two things or many things. One thing. What was Mary doing? Sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus listening to His words. It is amazing that when you focus on that one thing, all the other things seem to get accomplished and accomplished well. Then yesterday virtually nothing got done--but no worries. I did the one thing that was needful. He will take care of it.
