A Believer in Jesus ChristShe received Jesus into her house, but instead of sitting at Jesus' feet, hearing the word, she was distracted with much serving, and she came to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister have left me to serve alone? allow her to come and help me.
As women, we think we can serve Jesus best by hostist, keepers of the house, do the cooking and cleaning. But this is not always the case when it comes to Jesus, Jesus answers Martha, " Martha, Martha, you are careful ( anxious, take thought) and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Jesus Told her, one thing is needful, (necessary) and Mary has chosen that good part ,that good part of hearing the word, sitting at Jesus' feet and being taught. Domestic duties have their place, but sitting at the feet of Jesus is better. Getting taught in the word, so that you can be a better wife, mother, sister, boss, employer, employee etc.
