One of the hard things about reading scripture is seeing past the chapters and subtitles found before stories and segments. This makes it difficult to see how stories fit together to teach broader themes. In Luke 10 we find two classic stories: the story of the person who acted “neighborly” and Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha. Together these two teach us concurring themes in Luke of going and doing as well as sitting and listening.
There are moments in life when we must act, perform some good deed or serve someone or persons in a special way. And yet there are other times, like the one your experiencing now by reading scripture, when we must stop, sit and listen to One who teaches us how to live. You guessed it! One of these is a L2 way of life and the other L1.
As you live today may God supply you with wisdom to know when to act and when to sit and listen.
