Daily Scripture Threshing for Thursday, March 3, 2022
Today’s Text: Luke 10:41
Key Verse: Luke 10:41 (ESV): “But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things.”
Today’s text presents our Lord’s admonition which enjoins us to learn the wisdom of dispatching with any unnecessary forms of customary ceremonial civilities and domestic cares of our day-to-day life that hinders us from paying attention to spiritual necessities. If one considers how, earlier in the chapter, he gave a word that cautions us from roadside distraction; it would then be clear that His intention in this text is to teach us the wisdom of discarding with any good choice, or ones that seem so, for the very best choices in life.
“Martha, Martha!” is the call from Christ to all crowded or beclouded Christians to understand that not all things that are good and permissible things of life are profitable. That is why Christian choices must be guided by the Holy Spirit. We are not only to faced with the challenge to make the right decision between absolutely bad and the extraordinarily good choices. Often, we are being bombarded by the difficulty of determining and dispatching with those things that are good but are of little or no spiritual value for our good and for the overall benefit God’s kingdom. We are often caught up in too-absorbing pursuit of things good that are not beneficial to our supreme goal in Christ. Martha Martha! It takes singleness of the eyes for our whole body to be full of light. It takes being a man of one thing to reach the goal of higher calling set before us.
Quote for the Day: “We must not be so absorbed in pursuing good but inferior values when the Master has got us for a higher calling of the kingdom.” (Simon Olatunji)
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me to be single minded in my pursuit for you — in Jesus’ name. Amen.
With all my Love and Prayers,
Rev Simon Wale Olatunji, Ph.D.
