"His Voice Today"
May 22
🔸️ Sitting at the feet of Lord Jesus, the "good part" of meditation is needed! 🔸️
Martha gladly accepted Jesus into her home… she cooked not for herself but she cooked for Jesus and His disciples in the kitchen. This Martha portrays the status of a believer today. They have accepted the Lord in their hearts. Further, they selflessly did His ministry! However, Jesus rebuked people who had such zeal like Martha! What was wrong with their works? The answer lies in those two words that Jesus said: Yes, "Only one is needed!" This is the answer. She was not rebuked for her work. But she was rebuked because she didn't "put it first which was ought to be the first!!"
The Lord said, "Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her.”." What is the "good part" that Jesus mentioned here? She sat at Jesus' feet and listened to His word .... that's all! This is the good part that Jesus pointed out. More than anything else and above all, this is the only one that is needed!
How much importance we give in our life to “listen carefully for the Lord”? How long do we sit at the feet of the Lord, read His Word and through that how much eager to hear His voice? This eagerness is not with many of us today! Instead, we are guilty of the same things that Martha did, because so many different things are surrounding us. Not only worldly affairs dominating us, but Christian ministry could also fascinating us! Attending meetings .... and in the midst of our busy spiritual ministry, we hear the voice of the Lord rebuking us, just as He rebuked Martha.
"Mary knew the good part". Yes, in all the worldly events that surrounding us today, "The Living Word of God!" is the good part to all endings!
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father! Give us the grace not to lose our meditative life even in today's urgent world of "ministry"! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
