My Beloved Sister, I hope you have gathered more zeal in preparing for your king. I am praying for you. In the next few messages, we will be looking at what we can learn from Mary and Martha in the Bible.
Let’s start with Mary first. In preparing for your king, you need to focus on Getting the Right Value System.
Why is the right value system important? Because every choice and decision you make is based on your values. When you need to make choices, you will hold on to the thing you value most and sacrifice every other thing.
Let’s take for instance, it is raining heavily. There are several things you could be doing by that time. But you decide to walk under the rain to see the man you “love”. A friend calls you and asks if you will make it for mid-week service. You reply that the rain is falling heavily. But you have made your decision - to be where you value most.
The choice of a life partner will be based on your value system. Some women base their decision on wealth, some on looks, some on sex, some on background, some on religion, etc. The list is endless.
One thing we can learn from Mary is she valued Jesus (God) above everything else, so she thought nothing of using expensive perfume to honor him. When you truly value God, all other relevant values fall in place, and you find yourself making wise decisions.
Ask yourself today: What are your top five priorities in life? What drives your decision making? Those things you value, are they temporal, vain, or substantial?
Your king is someone who has the right value system. He wants a queen with a similar value system. Prepare for him.
