One thing is needful 1


“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42

If you want to finish your Christian race well, it is needful for you to sit at Jesus’ feet and learn. When you submit at Jesus’ feet to learn, you will grow in grace, you will have a clear direction for your life, you will be broken and fit for His use, and you will have the peace of mind (rest unto your soul) in this tempestuous world.

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matthew 11:29
“And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.” Luke 10:39

Jesus visited Martha and Mary. Martha was busy preparing food while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet to learn. Martha felt that Mary should be there in the kitchen to help but Jesus told her that it was important to sit and learn from Him. Jesus did not condemn the service of Martha but it was important to learn first before service. Beloved, how do you respond to bible study both in your closet and in the church? Learning must precede service. In the place of learning, you will obtain the word you need for your Christian life.

May you humble yourself to learn the way of the Lord.

Prayer for today: Oh God help me to put the study of Your word first in my life in Jesus name.
