Text — Luke 10:38-42
Message
Everyone on earth is blessed with the power of choice! Whether it is what food to eat, what clothes to wear, or who to spend time with, our choices shape our lives. But with such power comes great responsibility. We are in charge of our choices, and they can make a big difference in our lives. Remember: Your choices will determine what you will become in future.
Every choice is like taking a step on a path, either bringing us closer to God or leading us away. In today’s text, Jesus praised Mary for choosing to listen to God’s word, calling it the best decision. There are lots of choices in the world, and sometimes things might seem good but distract us from God. As friends of Jesus, we need to choose wisely and make sure nothing stops us from going to church to hear God’s word, which helps us grow.
When we make the choice to love Jesus, to follow God’s word, and to live in a way that honours Him, we open ourselves up to the abundant blessings that He has promised.
