Martha vs. Mary: 6 Clues You’re Acting More like Martha than Mary
Luke 10:38-42 tells a story of two very different sisters. Mary and
Martha have nearly opposite personalities, characteristics, and in
response to the arrival of Jesus in their home actions. As Christians it’s
easy to find ourselves caught in a tug-of-war as we do our best to
worship like Mary, yet handle the busyness and pressures of the day
like Martha.
The saddest thing about Martha is that her attitude caused her to miss
out on so much: she missed the opportunity to sit at a Bible study led
by Jesus; she misunderstood the comfort He offered her at her brother’

opportunities God offers you:
