"Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve
alone?" (Luke 10:42)
It is assumed that Jesus is engrossed with our service to Him
when He is not. The Lord doesn't care about service in the sense
of labor, He could force laborers. The concern of the Lord in
service is not the mechanics, but the sanctification of the servant.
"Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth." (John 17:17)
Read it carefully.
Like Martha, many scurry about laboriously, missing the one
necessity in life: sitting at the feet of Jesus patiently hearing His
words. It's a discipline that often doesn't look very spiritual to
those that are troubled and full of cares. The presence of the
Lord stirs us deeply and can cause an uneasiness that produces
impulsive behavior that the Lord is not the least bit concerned
with.
Looking busy is a subtle form of hypocrisy and an easy way to
avoid the fact that one is not in fellowship with the Lord. When
they do come to the Lord, it will be with an accusation and their
interaction with others will only be to bring them into the same
bondage that they are in.
