THE BEST PART

The students of my Bible class love to share their thoughts and inspirations with me and with each other every time. This week also as we studied the Book of Exodus together, all of them came up with some very beautiful insights. The crux of all their thoughts culminated in their expressing the fact that GOD WANTS TO SPEAK. Yes, we all realized that God wants to talk to us. He loves to reach out to us. The Bible reveals his love, his thoughts, his plans for us. He wants us to come to him daily so that he could nourish us with his WORD. In the Gospels we read how Jesus had commended Mary(who had sat at his feet) and who had listened intently to his words. Martha, her sister, was busy with many things and had no time for the Lord. Infact, she came and complained to Jesus about the inactivity of her sister. She asked Jesus to tell Mary to come and help her with the chores. The reply of Jesus was - "Martha, Martha, you are busy with so many things. But Mary has chosen the best part, which will not be taken away from her." Yes, the point is there is a BEST PART, which we all can have and which we all need - LISTENING TO THE LORD and HEARING HIS WORD. We discovered this as we studied together and I hope you would too. Building our life around Jesus and his Word is the best thing we can do....to become the best...and to experience life at its best!
