Luke
10: 38 –
38. 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.
39. And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40. But Martha was cumbered about
much serving and came to him and said Lord dost thou not care that my sister
hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.
41. And Jesus answered and said unto
her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42. But one thing is needful: and
Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Dear
All,
Greetings in the precious name of Jesus
Christ. It’s been long since I wanted to write this. May God our father help us
to choose that good part, which is needful and which shall not be taken away
from us. For many days, I didn’t know
what that good part was. I used to think, why Jesus had been harsh to Martha.
Just imagine a relative has come to your house, and you just sit with them and
keep chatting, without preparing any meals for them. What would be the thought
of that relative Uncle. Just put your uncle in Jesus place. What would your
uncle have answered? He would have obviously asked your sister to come and help
you. Is it not?. So what’s wrong? Why did Jesus answer so? What is the good
part that Mary chose? What is that thing which cannot be taken from her?
Well,
it is the PRESENCE OF GOD. Jesus doesn’t want any of your servings or meals. He
longs for your presence. He just wants to chat with you and love you more and
more. We may keep going after work, doing this and that. They are all
temporary. They will one day avanish. You have to stop working one day. But it
is only the presence of God that is permanent if chosen. Yes, only if you
choose it. And His Presence delights you. Blessed, blessed, blessed are those
who have experienced this delight.
Had
Martha also delighted in Jesus presence like Mary, they would have eaten
together a very special meal miraculously created by our Lord Jesus. Even we too might tell(This message is esp for
me, bcoz I am just like Martha. That is why Holy Spirit revealed to me be like
Mary and I wanted to share it with you) that we have a project to finish, we
have a meal to cook, we have got to clean the house, we have got to constantly
watch our kid. But I tell you, that if we are going to take a decision and
spend our little time with Jesus, He will start giving us more time to sit with
Him by handling all of our chores. Yes, just start spending your time with Him
and just see the transformation around you.(Believe it or not, this is the
truth).
Few verses
which describes, how David experienced God’s presence.

will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right
hand.
Psalm 15:11

your presence.

Psalm 51:11

you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
Psalm 89:15
7Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are
there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if
I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your
right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will
hide me and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for
darkness is as light to you.
Ps 138 7-12

I was urged to write. But I too got distracted and alas by God’s grace I have
obeyed to that urge to complete it.
