On the Road Again - DAY 16

Day 16: Choosing the Better Part

Luke 10:38-42

In the story of Mary and Martha, we see a clear contrast between the two sisters. While Martha is busy with the many tasks of hosting, Mary chooses to sit at Jesus' feet, absorbing every word. Martha's frustration leads her to ask Jesus to tell Mary to help her, but Jesus responds, "Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."

This passage highlights the importance of prioritizing time with Jesus over the busyness of life. It’s easy to get caught up in our responsibilities, but we must remember to make time for what truly matters—our relationship with Jesus.

REFLECT
Do you find yourself more like Martha, busy with tasks, or like Mary, focused on Jesus? How can you make more time to sit at Jesus' feet?

PRAY
Lord, help me to prioritize time with You above all else. Teach me to choose the better part and find peace in Your presence. Amen.
