Dear friends,
Today's reflection centers on Luke 10:42, where Jesus tells Martha, "but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." This verse highlights the importance of prioritizing time spent in the presence of Jesus above worldly distractions.
In Psalms 41:7-13, David cries out to God in his distress, seeking mercy and deliverance from his enemies. He acknowledges God's faithfulness and trustworthiness in preserving him and defeating his adversaries.
Luke 10:25-42 recounts Jesus' encounter with a lawyer who tests Him with a question about inheriting eternal life. Jesus responds with the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing the importance of showing mercy and compassion to others. He then visits the home of Martha and Mary, where Martha is distracted by her many tasks while Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening to His teaching.
Luke 11:1-4 records Jesus' instructions on prayer, teaching His disciples the Lord's Prayer as a model for their own prayer life.
Deuteronomy 2:24-37 recounts Israel's encounters with the Amorites and the defeat of Sihon, king of Heshbon, as they journey towards the promised land.
Deuteronomy 3 details Israel's victories over Og, king of Bashan, and the allocation of land east of the Jordan River to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Deuteronomy 4:1-14 emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's commands and the uniqueness of Israel's relationship with Him as they prepare to enter the promised land.
As we reflect on these passages, let us heed Jesus' call to prioritize time spent in His presence, finding rest and renewal for our souls. Like Mary, may we choose the better portion of sitting at Jesus' feet and listening to His words. And let us commit ourselves to prayer and obedience, trusting in God's faithfulness to guide and provide for us on our journey of faith.
