BUBLE TEXT: LUKE 10:38-42
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
KEY VERSE: “But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (LUKE 10:42).
MESSAGE
In life, different things try to get our attention. As we strive to be good and successful in life, we also see the need to make the people around us happy. It really feels good to see people happy by what we do for them. Achieving this surely takes our time, energy, resources and sometimes the assistance of other people. Martha found herself in this situation when Jesus visited her home. She got busy putting things together to make His visit a great and happy experience.

But making this happen was a great work and it was too much for her to do alone, Mary, her sister could have helped her but she chose rather to sit at the feet of Jesus, listening to the teaching of the Master. Martha complained to Jesus that she was left to serve alone. She asked that Jesus would tell Mary to help her. Jesus’ reply to Martha is a great lesson never to be neglected by everyone: “But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). “The good thing” is the word of eternal life and regular personal fellowship with the Lord. Ensure you study the Bible daily and have personal fellowship with the Lord. These will give you great blessings and grace which no man can take away from you.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to keep studying the Bible and daily fellowship with you.
FURTHER READING: Joshua 1:7-9
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
