Emphasis Preaching Journal

The bishop was visiting his old friend, a pastor of a quiet little country church. Since the pastor was continually referring to his pleasant location as God's country, the bishop inquired what he would do if one day he looked out the window and actually saw God walking toward his door. After a moment's thought, the pastor replied: "I would look very busy."

Perhaps Martha felt the same way and, when the Lord entered her home, she demonstrated what it means to be a woman on the move.
