Luke 10:38-42
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But 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!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Here we see that Mary sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His Word, while Martha was distracted by all the preparations. Then Lord Jesus says “ but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better”
Have we chosen what is better or we are so busy, so distracted that we don’t have time to draw near to the Lord, no time for prayer and no time for reading the Bible.
In Mark 1:35 we see that even Lord Jesus got up early in the morning to pray. It is important that every day we get up in the morning, the first thing we should do is drawing near to the Lord, praying and reading the Bible.
