Martha was anxious about many things, but Mary sat at the feet of Jesus to learn from him. Mary kept the horse in front of the cart, so to speak. Listen as Mr. Ben Bessett preaches on Luke 10:38–42 on keeping the horse in front of the cart as it pertains to our mind, heart, and actions.
“But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.’”
