what is better?
At the Home of Martha and Mary
38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40But 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!
41Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.
i have a friend that everytime he calls, the first thing he asks is - "what are you doing?" this really bothers me, i want him to ask me "HOW are you doing?" It's like there is this tension for me to want to tell him that I am doing something of signifcance of worth, something that will bump me up the busy-man totem pole. Over this Christmas break, let me truly take a break - pull away from the busyness of the holiday and carve out some time to sit at the Rabbi's feet.
When I choose to sit at His feet, I choose the better.
