Choices!

Luke 10: 42

⁴² “But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

 

This morning is the first day of the standard work week, and yet it’s filled with all sorts of choices.

I read last night the verses that detail this exchange between Martha & Jesus.

 

It’s almost like this is a representation of the church, and the choices each of us face.

Mary chose the good part, and it would never be taken away from her.

 

I wonder how often I choose the better part?

I mean yesterday was as cold as a toilet seat in an igloo, but I still chose to go and preach the Gospel.

 

I know I still could’ve chose something else to do, but I guess I wanted the better thing that would never be taken away from me.

But I realize that we’re not all alike.

 

Mary and Martha were probably polar opposites.

Martha was probably as type A as a person could get, and Mary was just willing to sit at the feet of Jesus.

 

People like Mary kind of annoy me, especially if there’s important work to be done.

But what could be more important than spending time with my Savior?

 

What will you choose today? What did you choose yesterday?

Hectic schedules, housework, meals, laundry, and church appointments seem to dictate our choices in the Gibson home.

 

But this isn’t a choice between good and bad. No, today begins a choice between good and better...
