Martha Cares
April 30, 2024
Martha was a doer, the hospitality, make it happen sister, when Jesus visited their family. Mary sat and listened to Jesus. Martha confronted Jesus, “Don’t you care?” And she whined about her circumstance. Luke 10 She wanted Mary’s help in the kitchen.
How often I am Martha. I’m whining to God about what I care about, what I think is so important. And often its puny, self-serving, determined by my perspective. Martha missed the priority that feeding spiritual hunger is more important than feeding physical hunger.
Pause my friend. When you ask God, “Do you care?” Stop and listen. He’ll assure you that He does care. And He’ll ask you, Do YOU care about what’s most important to ME? That’s the question that matters.
