Luke 10:38-42
An intimate relationship with Jesus Christ is of the utmost importance to every believer, yet our devotion to Him is all too often less than His priority deserves. Daily our tendency is to succumb to lesser priorities and a false sense of priority that robs us of a full sense of devotion to what matters most in life.
In Luke 10:38-42, we see that the story of Mary and Martha is really a story of two different prioities, rather than a story about two sisters. One priority was work, as demonstrated by Martha; the other was a priority of worship, which was demonstrated by Mary. Both priorities are important, but clearly, one is more important than the other. The story of these two sisters teaches us that Martha was distracted from the best thing by all the good things she was doing to serve Christ and His apostles. She was so busy serving Christ that she didn't have any time to spend with Him!
Time spent with Jesus Christ should be the most important thing we do every day! Is your relationship with Christ defined by your service to Him or to your time spent with Him?
