In this story, Jesus comes to the women\u2019s home and Martha, with good intentions, concerns herself with preparations while Mary just sits at the Lord\u2019s feet. When Martha gets frustrated with her sister, Jesus responds that Mary has chosen the one necessary thing. At the time in my life that I read this, I took it as the Lord convicting me of stressing over applications for after graduation. Though my intentions were good in that I wanted to know the Lord\u2019s will for my life, I realized that it was so silly to be trying to figure it out on my own when I could just sit at the Lord\u2019s feet and hear him speak to me. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the weeks continued, a huge wrong was done against me, multiple times actually. And in trying to decide how to respond, the Lord brought to my attention the story of David. At a point in this story, King Saul pursues David with the intention of killing him though David did nothing wrong. Nevertheless, David never took action to avenge himself. Rather, he declared that the battle was the Lord\u2019s (1 Samuel 17:47) and he wouldn\u2019t place a hand on the Lord\u2019s anointed (1 Sam. 24:10). He would wait until the Lord exalted him and dealt with Saul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I practiced this, and daily God would provide more scripture to affirm that He saw my situation, he heard my cries, he saw my submission to Him and He truly was my Avenger (Romans 12:19). One of the things God revealed to me was that in both passages of the Bible where Mary is mentioned (the other being where she anoints the Lord\u2019s feet with expensive perfume which Judas says was a mistake since they could have sold it and given the money to the poor), someone is complaining about her or wrongfully accusing her, yet she never speaks. Rather, in both situations Jesus himself comes to her defense. To Martha, he says that Mary has chosen the one necessary thing (Luke 10:41-42). To Judas, Jesus says, \u201cLeave her alone\u201d (John 12:7 &amp; Mark 14:6). How powerful?!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realized that God doesn\u2019t want us to be concerned with avenging ourselves because it takes our focus off of God himself \u2013 it becomes a distraction. He promises to avenge his people (1 Thess. 4:6); He is a Protector and a Defender of his children. Scripture even quotes God as telling Jesus to sit at His right hand until he makes Jesus\u2019 enemy his footstool (Matt. 22:44 and Psalm 110:1). God wants us to rest while He fights our battles. Resting can look unattractive because it seems unjust to not take action. But resting at God\u2019s right hand is a privilege as it is a place of protection, provision, authority, power and closeness to God that will develop an intimate relationship like never before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend came to me about a week ago with a situation where she had been greatly wronged. And as I shared with her this wisdom, she said, \u201cI just want to run and hide.\u201d I said, \u201cGo. Go run and hide\u2026just be sure to do so in the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided this year would be focused on \u201cno distractions.\u201d Pretty soon after that, God brought the story of Mary and Martha to my attention.
