Luke 10:38-42:
The story of Jesus in the home of his friends teaches the importance of a proper balance between “doing” and “being.” Martha and Mary each offer Jesus hospitality in her own way. Martha attends to the work of preparing the meal for him, while Mary attends to him directly by sitting with him. Both ways are good but listening to the teacher is requisite to living in service to others.
I am often too busy to choose “the better part.” Even during my quiet time with you I am making lists for the day. Help me balance the “doing” and the “being” in my life.
