Jesus Our Joy Devotional Study:
Today's Topic: CHOOSE THE GOOD PART:
Text: Lk. 10:42
"But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."( Lk. 10:42).
The Bible made it known to us that Jesus entered a certain village and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. Luke 10:39 says,"And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word."
Maybe Martha was busy running up and down so as to prepare for what Jesus will eat. But her sister Mary sat down quietly and listen to Jesus.
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.(Lk.10:40)
Active and practical service to God is essential and good, but our first and most important priority is love and devotion to Jesus, expressed simply in time spent with him i.e worshipping, listening and learning from his word. We must be very careful so as not to just being so busy doing the Lord's work that we do not take time to enjoy his presence. Or busy doing things for God that we do not take time to be with God.
Mary hath chosen that good part which are:
(1) Love and devotion to Jesus.
(2) Taking time to be with Jesus.
May God give you the grace to love Jesus and be devoted to him in Jesus name. Good morning and have a blessed weekend. (Rev. Bayode).
