IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, MAY 6, 2012
ONE THING IS NEEDFUL: JESUS
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:38-42
So often Christians want to focus on and be "troubled about" many things. But the Kingdom of God is about Jesus: He is the One thing that is needful. Yes, we desire the gifts of the spirit, baptism,holiness, keys to the kingdom, speaking in unknown tongues, prayer, praise, fasting, but the Kingdom of God is centered on Jesus-- His life, His death, His sacrifice, His resurrection and His reign. He is our King of kings, The Door, our Wonderful, Fairest of Ten Thousand, Savior and Lord.
Today, let it all be about JESUS!
