Luke 10:41-42

“But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion which will not be taken away from her.”

This is me, anxious and troubled about many things.  When I begin to get overwhelmed this verse comes to mind, except I personalize it. “Jill, Jill, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary.”

I then remember what is necessary.  Not my fretting, or stewing or worrying, but God’s Word. Read God’s Word. Sit in His presence. Pray. This becomes my good portion which will not be taken from me.

Too true. Besta used to always remind us that no matter what, only 1 thing is needful. She wanted it sung at her funeral.
God bless
