Decide the NEEDFUL

 

Text: Luke 10:40-42 (KJV)

 

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

 

We are exposed to one form of decision or the other every day and the choice is ours. Mary and Martha serving the Lord with zeal and capacity, were faced with the same vital decision time, but Mary decided on the needful as at the moment. And the master commended on her right choice of preference - she has taken the good part, and it shall not be taken from her. Martha was distracted and worried about many things, but Mary sat at the feet of Jesus to learn the needful. We must learn to have a scale of priority in making decisions as to fulfill destiny.

 

Matthew 23:23b- …. And you have neglected the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith, but do not neglect the more important things.We have opportunities to make a decision even now, but the question is how decisive are you. Certain times, we get ourselves worked up over everything while the number one thing is forgotten which is the main course.  Remember, one can be busy for all but not on point. The question we must always throw to ourselves is - what will I do now and which one do I do later as to avoid regrets?  Let us learn to invest in the most needful and properly project for the future. There are still weightier matters in any field, and until we go through the right process, we will be beating about the bush. May God have mercy on us in Jesus name.
