Words are powerful as they have the potential to lift or pull down the spirit of a person. The word “grace” in our opening text is translated, “compassion” from the Aramaic rendering. Jesus always spoke with compassion which preceded many of His recoded miracles.
Service to God is beyond words, as It is more in deeds than in words. There are many who say they serve God but do so on their own terms.

Being anxious doesn’t just starts with a thing. It is usually an accumulation of other things. Jesus spoke to Martha saying she is anxious and troubled about many things. So it was not just a one time thing she must have had against Mary but she however took the opportunity to bring it up to Jesus so just maybe, He might rebuke her.
