“Like expert trackers tacking their prize through the African scrub, may we take Mary’s example and remain attentive to the finer details of the Lord’s guidance.”
Jesus and his disciples had been trekking the whole day in the dry heat of Judaean hills when they entered Martha’s home for respite. Martha was an excellent hostess so she immediately set about getting supper ready. As she dashed about setting the low table and preparing the stew, she noticed her sister, Mary who shared the house with her, sitting at Jesus’ feet listening intently to his every word. "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" said Martha with indignation. "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
If you’re anything like me then I’m sure, every time you read this story you feel an affinity toward Martha. After all, wasn’t she giving her all to serve her Lord? And yes, it certainly is right and good to do all your hand finds to do with all your might, as unto the Lord. However, Jesus was quick to point out to Martha that she was so busy getting things together for the work of the Lord that she was missing the Lord of the work. While Martha was running about frantically serving Jesus, she was missing the finer details of his teaching. Mary, on the other hand, sat quietly at his feet, observing every minute detail.
Like expert trackers tacking their prize through the African scrub, may we take Mary’s example and remain attentive to the finer details of the Lord’s guidance.

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT.
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!

SO, DON’T GIVE UP,
LOOK UP & PRAY
“I choose to observe every minute detail of the move of your hand.”
“Dear Lord I want
to take a moment to thank you for all you have given me. However, like Martha,
I often get so wound up with the work to be done that I neglect the smaller
more important details in life, like taking time at your feet. In you I live
and move and have my being so I realise now that it’s very foolish to do
anything that draws me away from your presence, O my Lord. Today I choose to
walk with you and listen to your voice. I choose to observe every minute detail
of the move of your hand. As a watchman waits for the morning, help me to keep
my eye on the son-rise. Amen.”
