Our Greater Need

“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42
We are not always aware of our deeper need until Jesus points it out to us…
We may think our present need is a bigger ministry, when our greater need may be deeper devotion and intimacy with the Lord.
We may think our present need is greater income, when our greater need may be a deeper contentment.
We may think our present need is to do more for God, when our greater need may be to focus on the one thing He has asked us to do.
We may think our present need is to have something to say to everyone we talk to, when our greater need may be to learn how to be a better listener.
We may think our present need is to make a change in our circumstances, when our greater need may be to remain faithful in the place God has put us.
We may think our present need is to pray “harder”, when our greater need may be to pray in faith.
We may think our present need is to examine more of the Bible, when our greater need may be to have the Bible examine more of us.
We may think our present need is to get better organized so we can do more, when our greater need may be to get better organized so we can do less.
We may think our present need is to look for ways to share our testimony, when our greater need may be to look for ways to live our testimony.
