LIVE 2 GIVE - 3

Luke 10: 38, 39

Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha,  received Him into her house. And she had a sister, called Mary, who also sat at JESUS' feet and heard His word.

MARY HAS CHOSEN THE GOOD PART

We learn from this story of Mary and Martha, that there are two elements to living the good life; LIVE 2 GIVE life. Element one is the Mary part, the good part, "sit at JESUS' feet and hear His word." When we are sitting and listening  to GOD, we will hear and receive what He desires and what pleases Him. There is no guess work when we take our instructions from the Most High GOD, but we have to be still and listen first.

An old friend of mine, who is a Pastor, said this: "we must be on our knees with our sleeves rolled up, ready for action." The "on the knees" part is like Mary, listening to the Master. Then, with "sleeves rolled up", we are ready to go and serve in His Name, like Martha.

We carry the love of JESUS out into a broken world, but before we go out, we must go to the LORD in prayer. People are hungry and in need of help right now; they are hungry for physical food and spiritual food,  they are in need of comfort and help in a tangible way and in a spiritual way. We must bring both, meeting the physical need, while bringing the Good New of JESUS Christ the LORD.

LET'S GO!!!

GO TO THE FEET OF JESUS AND LISTEN, WITH YOUR SLEEVES ROLLED UP, READY FOR ACTION. LIVE 2 GIVE.
