What Do We Really Need?

“…But few things are needed--indeed only one.” - from Luke 10:42

From the story of Mary and Martha, two sisters who were also followers and disciples of Jesus. Martha was so overwhelmed and frustrated trying to do all the things she thought she needed to do, that she couldn’t take the time to enjoy his company or hear his lesson.

Mary on the other hand, decided that she didn’t need to do any of those other things. At that particular moment she decided that the one thing she needed to do was to spend time with Jesus and hear his instruction. The story says that Mary chose the better part.

Sometimes we miss the opportunity to grow and develop, to commune and fellowship with God and each other not because we are doing anything wrong, not because we have any bad intentions.

We miss out because we overwhelm and frazzle ourselves trying to do and get all the things we think we need, when we didn’t really need to do or get them at all.

In any given moment, we need to ask ourselves what’s most needed, then do that. Set the rest aside for the moment or let it go entirely if appropriate.
