‘He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna … in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord’

‘She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying’ (Luke 10)

As Martha makes clear & I know from my own experience - this is far easier said than done but is a life transforming call

‘See, my servant shall prosper;
   he shall be exalted and lifted up,
   and shall be very high’

There is only one Lord, one Saviour, one servant King
One whom is worthy of our worship

‘My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready;
I will sing & give you praise.
Awake, my soul; awake, harp & lyre,
that I may awaken the dawn.
I will give you thanks, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praise to you among the nations’

Soul stirred

‘On God alone my soul in stillness waits;
from him comes my salvation.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, 
my stronghold, so that I shall never be shaken’
