“Martha welcomed Jesus into her home.

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the

Lord’s feet and listened to what He was saying.

But Martha was distracted by her many tasks.”

Luke 10:38-40

Stewardship involves showing hospitality and caring for others, as shown by Martha in this story. Often waiting on others can be time-consuming, but, like Mary, we are also not to neglect spending time in the presence of the Lord through prayer and reading of the Word.
