Last week my thoughts had turned to Mary and Martha, focusing on our need to make better choices in balancing our time. You can read this post HERE.
As familiar as the story may be to all of us, I kept returning to read the account repeatedly. I began to wonder what more was I to take note of, so I returned to Luke 10:40-42.
Martha, distracted by all she had to do, comes to Jesus and asks,
“Lord, don’t You care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.” (verse 10, HCSB)
Martha’s nose was a little out of joint as she felt she was doing all the work while Mary did nothing.
The verse brought to mind the word, “complaining.” Mary was complaining to Jesus about Mary.
Complaining as defined by the dictionary is: “to express grief, pain, or discontent; to make a formal accusation or charge” (from The Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we look at this idea of complaining.
