In this episode, we focus on two tendencies we all have as people: There are those who are "doers" (Martha) and those who are "be-ers" (Mary). Think to yourself what you would do if Jesus told you he was coming over for dinner tonight. What would be your first thought? Would you scrub every inch of your house? Put away the monster pile of laundry in your room? Prepare the most scrumptious feast anyone has ever had?... Or would you simply leave all that on hold and just spend time with the Lord? Jesus makes it clear in Luke 10:38-42 which response brings him delight. Mary chose to sit at the Lord's feet and spend quality time with him. Martha was "distracted...anxious, and troubled about many things." Serving absolutely has it's place in the life of the Christian, but if it's done with the wrong heart and motives, it is no good at all. The simple act of being present in the moment and enjoying fellowship with people is what matters most. Worry less about doing, and focus more on being.
