I confess that there is something of Martha within me. Sometimes I make the mistake of thinking that being busy is a virtue, and I worry about the outcome.
I stand corrected, along with the words of Jesus to Martha: “there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part” (Luke 10:38-42).
Lord, teach me the value of listening to your direction before I act. Show me the “better part” and how to find the right balance between service and stillness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Paul tries to create some “audiovisual aids” for this big message, which he calls “churches” (a term Jesus used only twice, found in Matthew 16:18 and 18:17). Paul knows we need living, visible models of this new kind of life to make evident that Christ’s people really follow a way different from mass consciousness.
