“Pulled here and there” by much serving, Martha got upset with Mary and Jesus for not helping her. (click “source: for all)

Responding, Jesus counsels, “Martha, Martha, you are divided up in many parts…but one part is useful, Mary has chosen that one intrinsically good part.”  Luke 10:38-42

Text: “As they were traveling along, Jesus went into a village. A woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary. Mary sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to him talk. But Martha was upset about all the work she had to do. So she asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work all by myself? Tell her to help me.” The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha! You worry and fuss about a lot of things. There’s only one thing you need.Mary has made the right choice, and that one thing will not be taken away from her.”” (Luke 10:38–42, God’s Word Bible)
