Ladies,
I thought I would give us somethings to do in the weeks in between meetings. Following are some scripture and questions for you. Looking forward to your responses.
Elisa
Read Luke 10:38-42
Respond:
What were Martha's expectations of herself? Of Mary? What did Jesus want?
When you put Proverbs 31 side by side with this passage, what picture do you get of God's desires for you?
Are you more like Martha or Mary?
In a given week, how much time do you devote to cultivating a personal connection with Jesus?
Why is that?
Martha wanted to make everything perfect for Jesus (and most likely the group that followed Him), Mary wanted to hear all that Jesus had to say. Jesus wanted them to listen and find that He was all they needed.
ReplyDeleteProverbs 31 tells us that we should be like Mary and Martha. Two women that opened their home and hearts to Jesus and those with Him.
I am more like Martha. I get so caught up in the doing part of things that I forget to listen.
I need to work harder to have a more personal relationship with Jesus. Right now I spend too much time "praying on the go" and not enough time "praying before I go".
