Listen To Him

Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.  Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” 

The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” (Luke 10:38-42)

It’s best we sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to him. However, I prefer to simply walk with him and listen.  We all should.  When we do, we won’t go astray and take the wrong path leading to a wide gate and our downfall.

Too many of us say, “It’s my way or the highway.”  That highway can lead to a cliff, a fall, and a very hard landing.
