Martha Mary

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.

-> She opened her home!!!

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.

-> Sister didn't open her home.
-> When we invite God in, other people benefit like crazy.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.

-> Like a service.
-> Treasure Hunt
-> Worship session

She came to him and asked " Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

-> Service, serving in ministries

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed."

-> Sitting at the feet of Jesus :O

Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken away from her."

Just sitting at the feet of Jesus (:
That's all we need to do. Really? God? What about all the other stuff? What say you?

Different position? Ideekay. Give me wisdom about it.

But yeah. All I need to do right now, at least, is sit at your feet. Embrace your presence.

You are good, God. Really, really good.

Gosh.

(:

Jericho: Joshua 5:13 - 27

-> Man with a drawn sword, in front of of Joshua

-> God is in front of us, not to the right or the left.

We're in a war...Jesus on a white horse.

I'm gonna be prepared for that imagery. Man with a drawn sword.

We can question the spirit!

-> Joshua fell FACEDOWN in the ground!!

-> LIKE SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS.

Okay. I get it. The stuff gets done, because when we sit at his feet, we ask "What message does my Lord have for his son?"

We're past the place of servants (:

But yes. God can give us stuff to do from sitting at his feet. But let's not do stuff beforehand in preparation, because we think its 'good', without asking him first.

Yeah (:
