Portions: Luke 10 - 12

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered,
"you are worried and upset about many things,
but only one thing is needed.
Mary has chosen what is better,
and it will not be taken away from her."
(Luke 10:41-42)

As Jesus was saying these things,
a woman in the crowd called out,
"Blessed is the mother
who gave You birth and nursed You."
He replied,
"Blessed rather are those
who hear the word of God
and obey it."
(Luke 11:27-28)

"And do not set your heart on
what you will eat or drink;
do not worry about it.
For the pagan world runs after all such things,
and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek His kingdom,
and these things will be given to you as well."
(Luke 12:29-31)
