Luke 10:38-42 describes a dinner Jesus attended at the home of his friends Mary and Martha. When Mary sat and listened to Jesus, Martha complained that she could not complete all the preparations by herself. Jesus gently rebuked Martha by telling her that sometimes listening is more important than all the “good busyness”. The lesson here is how we often get caught up in tasks which may be good, but then the busyness causes us to miss what is best.
