The Lord is my portion (stay at His Table for a heart that is full)

BUOY | rock your faith

I am thinking about mashed potatoes. And Martha’s sister, Mary.

Luke 10: 41-42 English Standard Version

41 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

Jesus refers to Mary as having chosen the “good portion”... and that this is the portion that does not fall under the rule of others, under the pretense of what others think, but rather a portion that is set apart and preserved in its divine state through seeking to understand, to believe, to accept that Jesus is enough.

That Jesus is the only one in the room. In your room. In your world of choices, He is always the choice.

That one-on-one time with Jesus is what fills you up. While serving others is the obedient act that follows, it always starts with the portion God has given us through His Son.

This is why Mary sat at the feet of Jesus. She chose her portion. And Jesus affirmed that her time, our time, will not be taken from us.

That is why when I sit at the feet of Jesus, I don’t need a second helping. The first helping I receive will always make that moment full, make my heart full.
