Poor Martha -
......Her memory forever frozen in the day she made her mistake in public.
............Forever remembered as the sister who got it wrong;
While Mary
......Who, on that occasion, chose the better part
............Is recalled as the sister who got it right.
But Martha -
......Humble Martha
............Got it gloriously right
..................When God revealed to her alone
........................The nature of Christ
..............................The resurrection and the life…
Martha, who came to the end of herself
......And acknowledged her mistake.
Martha
......Who, humbled by her experience,
............Listened to the inner voice
..................And confessed Jesus as Lord.
So Martha,
......Practical Martha
............Honest Martha
..................Humble Martha
No longer follows Mary
......But walks together with her
............As a loving example for us to follow.
When we listen
......Intently
............To the voice of God
..................There's no limit to the wonders he may tell us. |
