DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 33; Proverbs 29; Luke 4:16-44
But Martha was cumbered about much serving Luke 10:40
If serving Christ makes us irritable and difficult to live with, then there is something drastically wrong with our service and we had better examine our lives. The Christian life is not an either/or situation—choosing to work like Martha or worship like Mary. Both are important and necessary, but worship has priority.
—W. Ross Rainey
Faithful to my Lord’s commands,
I still would choose the better part;
Serve with careful Martha’s hands,
And loving Mary’s heart.
—Charles Wesley
