Luke 10:38-42 ~ the good

Bethany is 1.5 miles from Jerusalem, located on a hill SW of Jerusalem

Luke 10:38-42

38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. 

And a woman named Martha  welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called 3 Mary, who 4sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are 5 anxious and troubled about many things, 

42 but one thing is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."

Jesus is telling us He finds in these women a worthy soul, listening and learning from Jesus. Filled with wonder and love.

We find God has found Mary, Mother of Jesus, (not this Mary) as worthy of Annunciation from an Archangel standing in the Presence of God. (Jesus taught sitting down.) Moses worked with his sister Miriam. The Bible found Deborah worthy of God's placement. Jesus ended His Life on Good Friday finding multitudes of women came to mourn Jesus. Paul found Prisca and her husband Aquila worthy to travel, work and fellowship with.

We know Mary and Martha found Jesus to be God who sits with us. Mary and Martha had dinners for Jesus and spent time with God telling Him when they felt short-changed or sulky. When they felt God had not been present and loyal with their deepest concerns. And these ladies still displayed to God, their faith in His Steadfast Love in eternal fulfillment.

These are not just stories suddenly of women - this is deep relationship we all learn from.

We can trust Jesus with our deepest heart and in times of Life Tragedy - Jesus sees our tears as precious and Jesus would cry as He prays with us.

Our Jesus is Wonderful.

Abba, Father,

Thank You Jesus prays with us with such Love.

Our God is Wonderful. Hearing our concerns and acting. Seeing our hearts.

Lifting up Bronchitis in our home for a month shared one person to the next and a return. We ask the end of Bronchitis. And the return of nights of sleep.

We are praying Peace for us all. For the believers we know pray more Heaven on earth as the earth turns from morning to night.
Praying more Heaven to earth summer's warmth to winter's rest.

Praying Heaven on earth for the paths of families traveling life to the destination of our prodigal to the Father running to greet us. Let our hearts and ways please You. Your Willing Healing. We live and renew on Your Mercy. For the Nations trusting in God. Our Nation and our people and our Church and our communities.

 Peace for the Holidays to be warm and loving ahead with Christmas planning taking the frantic away from Christmas.

Blessings upon You, Father. You provide our Righteousness.

In Jesus. Amen.
