Christ preached Mary – v2

Christ preached Mary

trusting God for everything;

To stop, to listen,

to sit at the feet

of the living God.

The world preaches Martha

striving forward;

Always busy

never time

for Jesus-rest.

The world preaches Martha

that we are to be working;

Out in the world

no time to stop

for Jesus-rest.

Christ preached Mary

that God provides for us;

If we just let Him

all that we need is given

and more besides.
