"You are anxious and worried about a multitude of things, and yet only one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it." - Luke 10:41-42
While Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus, Martha protested that she was not helping to prepare a meal for Jesus. Jesus responded to Martha in the above scripture.
We should focus our lives on the single fact that the Lord has something specific in mind for us. Just as Mary sat at His feet in anticipation, we are to wait upon Jesus for the outworking of the circumstances that will advance His purpose for our life.
"Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." - Matthew 18:3
We must recognize that we cannot fulfill the Lord's will with our own ability, and then acknowledge our insufficiency to Him.
"One thing is needful, and Mary has chosen the good portion." We must forget the past, both our successes and failures, and choose the good portion. This means that we are to make an effort to spend increasing time in His presence. In faith and expectancy, make room for Jesus to bring into your life circumstance all that He has for you to advance His calling on your life and then obediently cooperate with whatever He may do.
