Last week we began to look at the passage in Luke 10:38-42, in which Yeshua tells us the “one thing” that is really necessary in life, especially in the life of a believer.

He defends Mary (actually, her name was Miriam in Hebrew) for sitting at His feet and listening to His teaching rather than helping her sister Martha prepare a meal.

The primary verse and emphasis I want to use is Proverbs 8:32-36: “Now therefore, O sons, listen to Me, for blessed are they who keep My ways. Heed instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Blessed is the man who listens to Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at My doorposts. For he who finds Me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD. But he who sins against Me injures himself; all those who hate Me love death.”

Sometimes people question whether sickness might in fact be God’s will because He declined to remove the ‘thorn in the flesh’ from the Apostle Paul.
