Remember the story of Mary and Martha’s interaction with Jesus? Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His teachings. She chose to be with Him, as opposed to doing for Him at that moment. There certainly are times to work, like her sister Martha did, but that story stresses the importance of resting in the presence of our Savior. Our works can honor Him while helping others, but as Pastor Mike will warn in today’s message, works should never take the place of relating to Him.
