Grace Dominion Ministry: Do The One Thing

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

Luke 10:42

Do The One Thing

When Jesus was in the home of two sisters, Martha and Mary, Martha was busy with much serving. Mary, on the other hand, was seated at Jesus’ feet listening to His words. After a while, Martha got angry and said to Jesus, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me” (Luke 10:40).

Based on Middle Eastern culture, when you invite someone to your home, you ought to prepare some food for your guest. So Martha wasn’t doing anything wrong. Yet, Jesus’ response to Martha’s complaint was this: “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:41–42). He gently rebuked Martha and defended Mary.

Notice Jesus didn’t rebuke Martha for her much service. He showed her how she was “worried and troubled about many things.” Jesus told Martha that “one thing is needed”—sitting at His feet and listening to His words.

My friend, if you’re troubled about many things today, take time do that one thing—sit at Jesus’ feet and draw from Him. He wants you to draw deeply from His inexhaustible grace, wisdom and supply. This is the only thing that is needful, not five or 10 other things. Do you truly believe that?
