Sticks & Stones #8 -- Luke 10:40-42 -- Am I choosing the wrong, one thing?

from More Than Bread · host Dan Nold

Send me a Text Message!What did Jesus say to Martha when she came complaining about Mary? "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled over so many things, but only one thing is needed, one thing is necessary." Or perhaps in Martha's only one thing was lacking. With all her worry and hurry she was still lacking something. In essence Jesus was saying, "Mary has chosen what you need. What good would it do to take away from Mary, what you need?" I wonder how many of us are missing what we need because we are hurry to get something we think we lack.Only one thing is needed. Jesus doesn't say only one thing is possible.  He doesn't say, "If you ever do anything other than this one thing, then you are wasting your time." He is simply telling us in midst of our mindlessness, distractions, hurry and worry, that there is one thing that is necessary. We must listen to His Words.So here is my question, how many of us are choosing the wrong one thing?
