Verse from Luke

她有一个妹妹，名叫马利亚，坐在主的脚前听道。(路加福音 10:39)

She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. (Luke 10:39)

Distractions come in all shapes and sizes. For Martha, distraction took the form of cooking and cleaning—trying to serve Christ instead of listening to Him and talking with Him. Mary refused to be sidetracked. “Mary . . . sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word” (Luke 10:39). When Martha grumbled because Mary wasn’t helping her, Jesus said, “Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (v. 42 niv).

Jesus’ words remind us that our relationship with Him is more important than any of the good things that might temporarily capture our attention. It has been said that good things are the enemies of great things. For followers of Jesus, the greatest thing in this life is to know Him and to walk with Him.

Is Jesus just a figure in your life or He is the main part of your life? He is fully committed to loving you for eternity. What about you? Is He your top priority?
