We have to take things that we are our benefit from the word of God. What is good is to fear God and keep his commandment. The days of the man who spend his life like a shadow, he did not find out what will before him. What we remember from the story of Mata and Maria is that Mata was busy serving the guests while Mary was busy listening to the word of God. Luke 10:40-42 The Lord Jesus didn't say what Mata was doing was wrong but what He said Mary has chosen the good part which is listening to the word of the Lord. The good part is listening to the word of the Lord Jesus. Ecclesiastes 5:1 To listen to the word of the Lord is better than giving sacrifice and Mary chose to listen to the word of our Lord Jesus.
The good part that Mary was chosen is to listen to the word of the Lord Jesus. Luke 10:40 Mata was busy serving, even though what she was doing is good but the better thing is to listen to the word of God. Listening to the word of God is also a service to God. For us to do good we need to be taught because we need to believe and we can believe by hearing the word of God. Romans 14:12 By hearing the word of God, faith will come in. We can still service the Lord with our minds. Roman 2:13 Not only are we going to listen but we are going to do it. To be able to do the law, we need to hear it. If we are just hearing the words of God and we are not doing it, we will not be justified. It is only those that obey the laws of God that will be justified. It is important to check what was retained to was for to know the application. It was shown very clearly that Mary chose the good part which was to listen to the word of God. What Mata and Mary did was a good part of service to God but one is better than the other. Listening is a good part don the service of part but it is not the entire.
