Apart from my Lord I have no good thing. Ps 16:2

Luke 10
Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
41 And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

two things id like to remember from a bible study tonight:
1. some mistakenly believe that our purpose is to serve God but it is to be served by God. (served meaning satisfied i think)
2. also God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him.
