Part 2: One thing...

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." -Luke10:41&42

There is no resolution more important and more lasting than the one you can make for 2009. And that is, to make your "one thing" count. The "one thing" you can count on, is that if you choose to sit at the feet of the Saviour, you will never regret it.

No matter what goes on in this year, no matter how wonderful, or how tragic, you will have your feet firmly planted, unmoveable, unshakeable, if you have chosen this "one thing."

You see, Martha was running around making everything perfect, while her sister Mary was making the most of the time she had with Jesus, by sitting at His feet. There would be plenty of time to serve.

There will be plenty of opportunities, but lasting fruit is only borne when we choose to know that "one thing" of Jesus and His sacrifice.
