Comment on "Ask For The Ancient Paths"

Posted as a comment on the link below.
2 Corinthians 11:3. NASB95
But I am afraid that . . . your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
Luke 10: 41,42. NASB95
[Jesus said,] “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Mary was seated at Jesus feet, listening to Him speak. Martha had the glory of serving Jesus all to herself. Which one was doing the necessary thing? Which one had chosen the good part?

Martha’s life was complicated, her time was short, and she was frustrated. And There would come a time when Martha would no longer serve Jesus a meal. That would be taken away from here.

Mary was devoted to Jesus, in purity and simplicity. That part could not be taken from her.

Life is complicated. But the most important questions and the most important answers are all simple. Will I chose the good part? Will I chose the one necessary thing? Will I devote myself to Jesus? Will I run (with endurance) to Him on all occasions, at all times, for all reasons?
