Luke 10:41

God gave me a word today. When Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening God's word, Martha was cumbered with much work. On reporting to Jesus, for the carelessness of Mary toward her struggle with work, Jesus replied that "You are careful for and troubled with many things. but Mary chose the best one." .

"NOT MANY THINGS, BUT THE BEST ONE !"

Today God gave us a message in the church from Luke 9:57-62.

This portion I have read as my personal study. God was forcing me to meditate on it. But I was reluctant to Him. Today God talked to me on this.

First person asked God that He would follow Him. But Knowing hearts of every man, Jesus Said that he had no place to lay his head. This Indicates that the motive of that man might be reward He would get by following Jesus.

Second man, God himself asked him to follow Him. He said that He Had Responsibilities to fulfill.

Third person, who came to follow Jesus his own, is ready to follow, but still he is giving chance to regret of his decision by going back home to bid farewell.

Speaking to the second person, Lord mentions Preaching the Kingdom of God. and to the Third one He says abiding to the Kingdom of God, once the decision is made.

Today we also had farewell to outgoing students in which Vinod uncle shared God's Word from Psalms 90:12 'Teach me to count my days(To thank you what you have done in my life)'

And from Psalms 106: (He will guide and councel).

Luke 9:13

"But He(Jesus) said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish--unless we are to go and buy food for all these people." "
Jesus knows that they cannot give them(5000 men) food. But God wanted to test their faith after they have seen so many miracles. They couldd have brought those five loaves and two small fishes and could have asked jesus to bless them. He can bless even small ones and do greate things with them. Its good to put all that we have at his feet though they are small. We need not think of doing some thing on our own (like Going and buying food).
