Choosing the One Thing, Removes the Worry! Luke 10:38-42
1st Sister: Martha: Distracted, Worried and Bothered
What Being Worried and Bothered Does:
Causes you to Compare!
2 Corinthians 10:12 For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. 17 But He who boasts is to boast in the Lord. 18 For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
Comparison Can Come from Pride as well As a Discontentment.
Causes you to Grumble and Complain
Can Produce Condemnation
Can Reveal Entitlement which Makes demands
Produces Bossiness: Like in Telling God What to Do!
Could be Evidences of Idolatry:
2nd Sister: Mary: Sits at the Feet of Jesus and Listens to the Word of God.

She Does What Jesus Says: Matthew 6:25-31
Stop worrying
Seek First the Kingdom of God
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
The Word Is Inspired By God: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work!
God’s Word Is Alive and Eternal: 1 Peter 1:24 For, “ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF, 25 BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.
God’s Word Births Faith: Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
God’s Word Brings Righteous and Wise Living! Matthew 7:24-27
Spending Time in the Word!
Listening to the Word
Believing the Word.
Obeying the Word!
