Attending to Jesus
Learn from Mary and Martha's encounter with Jesus: receive His word and let faith shape your daily service.
Understand
Luke 10:38–42 records Martha welcoming Jesus into her home and Mary listening to His teaching. Martha was distracted by the work of serving and brought her concern to Him. Jesus addressed her worry and affirmed Mary's attention to His word.
This passage encourages women to give Christ's teaching a central place amid real responsibilities. Necessary care and work can be offered lovingly, while anxiety and distraction are brought to Him. Listening to Scripture prepares us to serve with clearer priorities and dependence on God.
Choose a manageable passage to read in your NKJV Bible. Ask what Jesus teaches and how it shapes a responsibility you face. Seek practical help where needed, and let attention to Him lead to patient love rather than comparison with another woman's routine.
Reflect
What does Jesus affirm about Mary's choice?
Which worry is distracting you from His word?
How can receiving His teaching shape the way you serve today?
Live
Set aside a realistic time to read Luke 10:38–42. Choose one act of loving service that follows from listening to Christ. Ask for reasonable help with your responsibilities and encourage another woman in her study of Scripture.
