Koinonia - Day THREE

Jon led us in devotion and we were asked to read Luke 10:38-42. I was left with these thoughts...

1. Mary showed the greatest hospitality to the King of Kings by dining with Him.
  • Martha was busy preparing the place, dinner but Mary just sat with Jesus.
  • "God is most glorified when man is most satisfied in Him." John Piper.
  • True fellowship is when you are in the presence of the King.
2. Mary was focus and Martha was distracted.
  • Martha did many things for the preparation. Mary just did one thing.
  • Which is most impt? To attain great things for God or doing great things with God?
3. Martha spoke and complained. Mary listened. She just listened.
  • The high call of a disciple is really to listen and to listen attentively.
  • What have I missed out God?
Pastor Sam shared in his teaching which I thought quite tied in with what God has been speaking to me about:

  1. "Clarity of hearing is proportional to your Faith"
  2. Posture of a listener
  • Focused attention
  • Love-longing (Psalms 42:1-3, 7-8)
  • Humble waiting.
