Martha was known as a hospitable homemaker. She always took care of her company and served them best she could. She believed in Jesus with growing faith. She had a strong desire to do everything right. Martha was a great person!! But, as always, there are strengths and weaknesses in a person.
Martha's weakness was mixing up her priorities. She got too busy with serving, small details, and trying to get everyone to agree with her priorities, she ended up neglecting her guest.... Jesus.
(I get like that sometimes.)
Are you so busy doing things for Christ that you're not spending any time with him?
Don't let your service become self-serving.
Don't get so distracted and so focused on the work that you don't have time to fellowship with the Lord.
Jesus did not blame Martha for being concerned with household chores. He was only asking her to set priorities.
Service to Christ can degenerate into mere busywork that is totally devoid of devotion to God.
There is a proper time to listen to Jesus and a proper time to work for him.
God Bless Y'all! :)
