Devotional from The Vine...

Household Duties

So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those
who sat at the table with him. -
John 12:2

A short devotional today, but an important one...

There are some Bible characters that we cannot fail to recognize. We know
Martha by her busy serving. Each time we meet her we find her engaged in
active
duties. She represents those whose love for Christ takes the practical form.
Some people like to criticize Martha, but after all, her type of piety is
important in this world where there is so much need for service. Beautiful
as the Mary-spirit is, it would not do if all were Marys. Who would do all
the
work that needs so much to be done? A wife and mother, for instance, who
spends all her time reading the Bible and in prayer, giving no thought to
caring
for her family would not make a very happy home.

Apply This To Your Life Today... Don't let people criticize you if you're a
Martha, always busy. But at the same time, don't forget to work on being
like
Mary who spent time at the feet of Jesus.
