... Is Necessary

In Luke 10:38–42, Mary and Martha offer a powerful contrast between distraction and devotion. While Martha is overwhelmed with busyness, anxious about serving and managing tasks, Mary chooses the "one thing" that is most important—sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to His teaching. In a world filled with hurry, worry, and constant demands, Mary’s choice stands as a quiet yet bold statement: being present with Jesus and prioritizing His words brings the peace and perspective our anxious hearts truly need. Jesus affirms her decision, reminding us that time with Him is not just good—it is essential.
