Spiritual Waimai 属灵外卖： Take-Out When You Can't Get Out

The pride and hypocrisy of the religious leaders left them outside of the gathering Jesus longed for. Instead of being gathered together, these religious leaders were separated into their religious factions and totally rejected Jesus Christ. Let us check our hearts to see if there is any prideful or hypocritical way in us. Let us humbly and sincerely come to Jesus and remember that to be great in God’s Kingdom, we must become the servant of all. 

无论你多么坚强、聪明、富有灵感或热情，如果你不能坚持不懈地度过难关，你就不会成功。你可以有世界上所有绝妙的想法，但如果你不锲而不舍，在实现它们之前就会放弃。没有毅力，你就做不了多少事。如果没有忍耐，人们会放弃工作，结束关系，搬离城市，退出俱乐部或团队，而对他们热衷开始的事情半途而废。

No matter how strong, smart, inspired or enthusiastic you are, if you cannot persevere through something difficult, you won’t succeed. You can have all the brilliant ideas in the world but if you do not persevere, you will quit before you achieve them. Without perseverance, you can’t do much. Without perseverance people quit jobs, end relationships, move cities, drop out of clubs or teams, and just don’t finish what they so heartily started. 

但是主告诉她：“亲爱的马大呀，你为这么多琐事焦虑烦心！但只有一件事值得关注。玛利亚发现了这一点，没什么能从她夺去这一点。”马大也为优先次序感到焦虑。在那个时刻，她相信她要首先满足他人的需要----确保每个人 都吃得好、饭菜收拾干净、每个人的需要都照顾到了、每个人都舒舒服服的，尤其是这位重要的、深受爱戴的夫子的需要！她的妹妹怎么敢不认为这是最重要的！可是玛利亚就是那么……坐在Ye Su脚前？

But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Martha was also anxious about priorities. At that moment, she believed it was meeting others' needs… making sure everyone was fed, the meal was cleaned up, everyone was comfortable and had what they needed, especially this important and beloved teacher! And how dare her sister not also think that was the priority! Mary was just… sitting there, at Jesus's feet?
