Here's today's entire Gospel reading from Luke 10. Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." Here, Martha spoke from her ego. Just yesterday, I blogged about the ideal state in which we let the Lord initiate every thought and prompt every word we speak. It's so easy to want to speak out whenever we feel mistreated ever so slightly. We really should let it go if the Lord is not offended.
