Evening: Psalm 107:1-32; Luke 10:38-42
Why
would Jesus praise Mary for sitting at his feet, while chiding Martha
for fussing in the kitchen? He declared that only one thing was
necessary, and Mary had chosen it. Meaning perhaps, “Martha, do come
and sit down. That’s all I need right now.” This does not value the
active life less than the contemplative life, as some suggest.
Priorities change with circumstances. When you invite others in, your
hunger for community may be greater than your appetite for food. Attend
to one another first. You can prepare food later. For now, rest here
with them, in this moment.
