But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41–42 Success From Doing One Thing Sometimes, the hardest thing for us to do is to sit down! Indeed, one of the most challenging things we can do is to cease from our own efforts and rest solely in Jesus’ unmerited favor. Often, we are like Martha—worried, busy and troubled about many things. It can all be legitimate things that we are worried about. In Martha’s case, she was trying her best to serve the Lord. She ended up doing many things that day, but missed out on doing the one thing that was actually needful. Now, is it practical to just be occupied with Jesus? Absolutely. We find that later, in the Gospel of John, Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair to prepare Him for His burial (John 12:3–8). On resurrection morning, some women came with ointment to anoint Jesus’ body, but it was too late then. They were doing the right thing, but at the wrong time. The Lord had already risen. But Mary had done the right thing at the right time. Beloved, when you do the one thing that is needful, you will end up doing the right thing at the right time, and God will cause all that you touch to be amazingly blessed!   Share this on:     © Copyright Joseph Prince, 2013 All rights reserved under International Copyright Law.
