We are in the middle of a wonderful Women's Bible Study from Joanna Weavers' book Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World. It is the best study for sorting out our priorities as women. We all know the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42)...Jesus and his followers came to their home during their travels for food and rest. Martha was busy cleaning and cooking(in the Kitchen) and serving all those that were there while her sister Mary was in the "living room" sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to His every word. Martha was upset that her sister was not helping and went to Jesus and said in verse 40.."Lord don't you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And what was Jesus' reply? Verse 41-42.."Martha , Martha you are worried about many things. But only one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen the good thing which will not be taken away from her." The better thing in our lives is to be at the feet of Jesus. Not to say that serving others is not important. Jesus was not correcting Martha's actions but her attitude.
Ecclesiastes 9:10...says " Whatever your hand finds to do, so it with all your might." Whatever you do do it as unto the Lord.
Ladies...Get out of the "kitchen" and into the "living room". Think about this. It's not the action but the attitude. Jesus wants us do to others through him. We are His disciples here on earth. Others MUST see Jesus in us. Filled up and "sticking out all over".
Have a blessed day and be well my pretty ladies.
