Luke 10:38-39 As Jesus And His Disciples Were On Their Way, He Came To A Village Where A Woman Named Martha Opened Her Home To Him. 39 She Had A Sister Called Mary, Who Sat At The Lord’s Feet Listening To What He Said. 

Luke 10:40 But Martha Was Distracted By All The Preparations That Had To Be Made. She Came To Him And Asked, “Lord, Don’t You Care That My Sister Has Left Me To Do The Work By Myself? Tell Her To Help Me!”

Martha Was Distracted 

“Don’t You Care”

Mark 4:38b “Teacher, Don’t You Care If We Drown?”  

Mark 4:40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”  

Luke 10:41 “Martha, Martha,” The Lord Answered, “You Are Worried And Upset About Many Things,

Genesis 22:11-12 But The Angel Of The Lord Called Out To Him From Heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I Am,” He Replied. 12 “Do Not Lay A Hand On The Boy,” He Said. “Do Not Do Anything To Him. Now I Know That You Fear God, Because You Have Not Withheld From Me Your Son, Your Only Son.”

Genesis 46:2-3 “And God Spoke To Israel In A Vision At Night And Said, “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I Am,” He Replied. 3 “I Am God, The God Of Your Father,” He Said. “Do Not Be Afraid To Go Down To Egypt, For I Will Make You Into A Great Nation There.”

Exodus 3:4-5 When The Lord Saw That He Had Gone Over To Look, God Called To Him From Within The Bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses Said, “Here I Am.” 5 “Do Not Come Any Closer,” God Said. “Take Off Your Sandals, For The Place Where You Are Standing Is Holy Ground.”  

Samuel 3:10-11 The LORD Came And Stood There, Calling As At The Other Times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel Said, “Speak, For Your Servant Is Listening.” 11 And The LORD Said To Samuel: “See, I Am About To Do Something In Israel That Will Make The Ears Of Everyone Who Hears About It Tingle.

Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, Satan Has Asked To Sift All Of You As Wheat. 32 But I Have Prayed For You, Simon, That Your Faith May Not Fail. And When You Have Turned Back, Strengthen Your Brothers.”  

Acts 26:14-16 We All Fell To The Ground, And I Heard A Voice Saying To Me In Aramaic,[A] ‘Saul, Saul, Why Do You Persecute Me? It Is Hard For You To Kick Against The Goads.’ 15 “Then I Asked, ‘Who Are You, Lord?’ “ ‘I Am Jesus, Whom You Are Persecuting,’ The Lord Replied. 16 ‘Now Get Up And Stand On Your Feet. I Have Appeared To You To Appoint You As A Servant And As A Witness Of What You Have Seen And Will See Of Me.” 

One Thing

Psalm 27:3-5 Though An Army Besiege Me, My Heart Will Not Fear; Though War Break Out Against Me, Even Then I Will Be Confident. 4 One Thing I Ask From The Lord, This Only Do I Seek: That I May Dwell In The House Of The Lord All The Days Of My Life, To Gaze On The Beauty Of The Lord And To Seek Him In His Temple. 5 For In The Day Of Trouble He Will Keep Me Safe In His Dwelling; He Will Hide Me In The Shelter Of His Sacred Tent And Set Me High Upon A Rock.”  

Luke 18:18-23 A Certain Ruler Asked Him, “Good Teacher, What Must I Do To Inherit Eternal Life?” 19 “Why Do You Call Me Good?” Jesus Answered. “No One Is Good—Except God Alone. 20 You Know The Commandments: ‘You Shall Not Commit Adultery, You Shall Not Murder, You Shall Not Steal, You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Honor Your Father And Mother.’[A]” 21 “All These I Have Kept Since I Was A Boy,” He Said. 22 When Jesus Heard This, He Said To Him, “You Still Lack One Thing. Sell Everything You Have And Give To The Poor, And You Will Have Treasure In Heaven. Then Come, Follow Me.” 23 When He Heard This, He Became Very Sad, Because He Was Very Wealthy.”  

John 11:20-27 When Martha Heard That Jesus Was Coming, She Went Out To Meet Him, But Mary Stayed At Home. 21 “Lord,” Martha Said To Jesus, “If You Had Been Here, My Brother Would Not Have Died. 22 But I Know That Even Now God Will Give You Whatever You Ask.” 23 Jesus Said To Her, “Your Brother Will Rise Again.” 24 Martha Answered, “I Know He Will Rise Again In The Resurrection At The Last Day.” 25 Jesus Said To Her, “I Am The Resurrection And The Life. The One Who Believes In Me Will Live, Even Though They Die; 26 And Whoever Lives By Believing In Me Will Never Die. Do You Believe This?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” She Replied, “I Believe That You Are The Messiah, The Son Of God, Who Is To Come Into The World.”
