Scripture
Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."




Devotional
This passage is so full of many things to teach but I want to focus on listening to the words of Jesus. When the word of God is being spoken we are to listen as Martha was doing in this story. Regardless of who is sharing the word of God, remember that they are speaking as if Jesus were
speaking Himself.
