“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
 
My friend’s grandmother used to tell him, “If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” As of late, I feel I have fallen into that trap, but yesterday, another friend sent me a book about living in the Divine Will. I’m making time each day to read from it.
 
We busy ourselves throughout the day, perhaps believing we are serving God, and justifying our busyness. All the while, Christ is calling to us, wishing for us to unburden ourselves so we may listen quietly at His feet.
 
May we take some time out of our busy days and realize there is need of only one thing. May we be more like Mary and choose the better part. May we sit at Jesus’ feet, listening to Him speak.
