"Martha was cumbered about much serving." Luke 10:4040But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. (Luke 10:40). There is a tendency to distraction in all service, blessed though it be in its place. All of us have some service given us to do for Christ-it would be sad indeed if we were in a position that we had nothing to do for Him-the great point is the way it is done. What is needed is the quietness of communion so as to go out from Himself, and then return to Himself. There are those who work, thinking thereby to get into communion. They can never know or enjoy it this way. All real service must flow from communion; then we are occupied with Christ, and have His thoughts.
