ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

ONE THING IS NEEDFUL

Luke 10:38-42. "Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered
into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha receive him
into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at
Jesus' feet, and HEARD HIS WORD. 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. And Jesus answered and said unto her, MARTHA, MARTHA, THOU ART
CAREFUL AND TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS: BUT ONE THING IS NEEDFUL: AND
MARY HATH CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART, WHICH SHALL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY FROM
HER."... Martha received Jesus into her home to be a blessing to him.
Matt 10:41 says "He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet
shall receive a prophet's reward,..." Martha therefore, was fulfilling
the scripture: doing well to receive and serve Jesus. Martha had a
sister, called Mary, but who sat at Jesus feet to receive HIS WORD.
Martha was busy with serving to please the Lord. She did not care
about the word.
In verses 41 and 42, "And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha,
Martha, thou art careful about many things: But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from
her." Jesus called Martha twice in verse 41 begging for her attention
and employing her to see the importance of what he had to say on the
issue of her request. Jesus said to her "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL" This
one thing is the base of everything. This one thing is the foundation
of everything in God's kingdom. The continual detailed attention to
and meditation in God's word is not only the basis for profitable
service, but for a fulfilled life. One thing is trully needful. You
can choose that now. Embrace wisdom, it's the principal thing. Prov.
4:7-9,20-22. Josh 1:8 and Matt 5:6. ... END.
