Putting a Priority on God's Word
Part 42 - Luke 10:38-42 (ESV) - Pastor Tim Kroeker
Deuteronomy 11:18-19:
“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

Triage originates from the French word "trier," which means to sort or organize. French military surgeon Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, the chief surgeon in Napoleon Bonaparte's imperial guard, developed a system to evaluate and categorize wounded soldiers quickly during battle. Today, health care professionals all around the world utilize triage to prioritize patients based on the severity of their injuries.
But prioritizing isn’t for emergency rooms only. Our lives are jammed packed with daily demands that scream for attention. So, what’s really important? What should we get to first?
As we continue reading in our salvation story Jesus is drawn into a dispute between two sisters with very different priorities. Jesus gently corrects the one and affirms the other, thus revealing the most important part of any disciple’s day. Mary devotedly sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to his teaching while Martha was distracted with much serving. We’ll discover the advantages of putting a priority on God's word.
