Daily Inspiration

“Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." -Luke 10:38-42

Are you more like Martha, anxious and worried, focused on the things of this world, or are you like Mary, content to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to Him speak? As creatures born of this world but destined for the next, we must try to find the right balance as we live in this world, yet prepare for the next. As we go about our day, we must budget our attention, and remember that we too can choose the better part.

Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus pray for us.
