But it's a pity that she forgot that the Lord Jesus is not an ordinary guest. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others. The only thing that can best satisfy the Lord's heart is to have close communication with him and listen to him. The Lord Jesus doesn't care about the delicacy of diet and the comfort of bed; On the physical side, he has only minimal needs. However, Martha is a perfectionist, and everything should be done properly and thoughtfully. She was too busy realizing her dream to obey the Lord's will, so Mary was praised for doing nothing. The Lord praised Mary for choosing that beautiful blessing, that indispensable blessing.
Have we also made this mistake in serving the Lord? In my haste, I only planned how to serve the Lord, but I never stopped to think about what the Lord wanted. How does he want us to serve him? In common family worship, the host family is busy preparing meals instead of sitting down and listening. As a result, I got nothing spiritually and completely lost the significance of family worship. Sunday school teachers are busy preparing teaching materials, and the staff of the fellowship are busy planning various activities, which takes up the time of spiritual practice in the morning. We often represent service with work, but we don't know that there is only one service, that is, to please the Lord.
