Sun, 18 Jul 2010 09:00:00 PST 6:21 Guest pastor Carl Nelson Learning to slow down and wait upon the Lord In defense of Martha, busying herself with preparing for her guest Jesus was not a bad thing (Luke 10:38-42). Nevertheless, just like her, we can get so caught up and trapped in "doing the Lord's work" that we forget to pause, be still and listen to His voice, which is what her sister Mary did.
