What’s needed?
This encounter comes on the heels of the disciples returning from a time of successful ministry
Jesus lays out a pattern for the success of ministry
The focus wasn’t the success of the ministry but rather upon the one who enabled a ministry
The blessing of knowing the truth is the real focus
The joy of serving God is in the relationship not the business!!
It is in the fulfilling of the relationship that the work of God is manifest
Look at the question....what do I need to do!
Jesus asks him what do you think?
The manifestation of the relationship is love!
“do this”
From love flow the works of God to a hurting world
Now the actions of the good samaritan
He didn’t tell them to have a fund drive, call EMS, or ask someone else
the command was…DO SOMETHING about it!
Now we come to our text
Martha is busy doing the work of the ministry
Did all those things need done?
yes
Was there a timeline to meet?
Yes
But in all the business she forgot one thing, how to sit in the presence of the Master
Worried - distracted, disquieted, turmoil, uproar
Satan want to distracted us with activity while God’s desire is that we quiet ourselves in His presence
Pod Spa - quiet our minds and Sppirits
How many times have we focused on the activity instead of the focus of the activity!
In the preceeding verse we are told that the people in the wilderness did not due to disobedience or unbelief of what God instructed them to do
True rest can only be found in obedience to His Word and command
Sometimes the things that distract us the most are of no eternal consequence!
One thing is needed - literally - necessary
That which should be or must happen
We see that jesus was surrounded by the needs of many but only focused on the issues His father showed him
Mary choose to spend her time in the most productive way
Jesus puts it well - this time will not be taken from her
It is in the presence of the Master that the plan and heart of God are revealed
It is there that God is able to sear His work securely in our hearts
As we move forward with the vision of the fellowship, success will be based upon our ability to sit quietly before the Father and then be obedient to the command of the King
