Who Is the Servant?

"Martha was distracted with much serving . . . But Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:40-42

Martha is worried about something good. She's having Jesus over for dinner. She's literally serving God. Her aim was to please Jesus. But she made a common, yet dangerous mistake. As she began to work for Him, her wok became more important then her Lord. What began as a way to serve Jesus, slowly and subtly became a way to serve self . . . She has forgotten that the meal is to honor Jesus, not Martha . . .

It's easy to forget who is the servant and who is to be served. - He Still Moves Stones
