Friendly Reminder

Mary vs. Martha Syndrome

We are going to revisit this scripture that we studied a few months ago…

Luke 10:40-42
But Martha was cumbered about with much serving and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Many of us like the thought of being a servant to the Most High but are not thrilled about the responsibility that comes with that servitude. To some it is a good topic of conversation. However, we must understand the reason behind the service. There is a spirit behind what we do. Whether we operate in the Spirit of God or whether some other force.
The Jesus spoke of what was most necessary, it was the worship. The good part was the supplication and being in the presence of God. If you don’t want to be in his presence while you’re here in your spiritual walk then How can you look forward to life on high with Him? Let not your works be in vain because your heart is not passionate toward the purpose of the work, which is saving that which is lost. When we study much of the book of Revelation the Lord starts by saying I know thy works! We must do a self check to be sure that the reason for our works is for the purpose of maintaining a close relationship with Christ.

Martha mentioned that her sister left her alone. Sometimes it seems like we are all alone in this spiritual battle often called life. Be careful what you ask for. Sometimes we desire for more faith or to go higher in Christ but it requires more from you. Some things must be done alone because those you are attempting to carry with you do not have the same mission or the same anointing, nor are they willing to do what it takes.  Jesus reminded Elijah there were yet 7000 that he still had reserved which had not bowed the knee. Lay aside the weights and cares with praise and worship and Jesus will continue to reveal Himself to you. Be not weary in well doing. Do not go astray. Follow to see the end result. Those who endure to the end will be saved.
