I cannot help but wonder if God looks down on us and wonder why we choose to worry about the things we do. We spend too much of our time worrying about things that have very little significance in the light of eternity. In today’s reading we see Martha upset with Mary because she chose to sit and listen to Jesus instead of helping her in preparations around her home. In Luke 10:41 Jesus says, “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.” If we look carefully, we do not see Jesus telling Martha that she is doing something wrong, just that Mary has chosen something better. While our choices may seem like good things to do, are they the best thing we can do in serving other’s and allowing ourselves to be used by God?
