Luk 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.Luk 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.Luk 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:Luk 10:42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Mary heard - akouō - 1) to be endowed with the faculty of hearing, not deaf 2) to hear b) to attend to, consider what is or has been said c) to understand, perceive the sense of what is said
Martha was confused she thought by being absorbed in her surroundings she was doing the correct thing


Jesus wants more than just our labor / He wants our heart

Luk 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

In Luke 10:38 Jesus is speaking out of the abundance of His Heart! Mary heard/ and she received understanding

Today it is necessary that we understand

Pro 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; Pro 2:2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding; Pro 2:3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding; Pro 2:4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures; Pro 2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Pro 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding. Pro 2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a buckler to them that walk uprightly. Pro 2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Pro 2:9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; [yea], every good path. Pro 2:10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Pro 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: Pro 2:12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the man that speaketh froward things; Pro 2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Pro 2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Pro 2:15 Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their paths: Pro 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words; Pro 2:17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. Pro 2:18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. Pro 2:19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. Pro 2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep the paths of the righteous. Pro 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. Pro 2:22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head .Mar 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? Mar 14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. Mar 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. Mar 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

Mar 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
