But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.  Luke 10:41-42

Martha was distracted with all her preparations.  She was "worried" and "bothered".

What was "the good part" that Mary had chosen?  She sat at the Lord's feet and was listening to His word.

Being worried and bothered by my daily activities and preparations distract me from hearing His voice -   "the good part", the one thing that will not be taken away.

"Lord, help me to listen for You. 

To not worry about what I cannot change. 

To not become bothered with preparations that are quickly undone. 

Instead I want to meditate on Your word, behold Your beauty and delight in You."
