“But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.’” {Luke 10:40-42 ESV}
That certainly wasn’t what she was expecting, nor what she asked for.
But that’s what she received…..and really, it was far better for her!
Martha had an issue to take up with Jesus about her sister, who was selfishly allowing her to do all the work by herself. Women were supposed to serve!
And there Mary sat a Jesus’ feet, like she didn’t have a care in the world. Who did she think she was anyway?!
