The lesson is not that work doesn’t matter. Meals need to be made, jobs need to be done, and responsibilities must be carried out. The lesson is that eternal things must always take priority over urgent things. Sitting at the feet of Jesus will never feel urgent, but it is always essential. When we choose urgent over eternal, we are essentially saying that what shouts the loudest deserves our time. But when we prioritize the eternal, we are saying that Christ deserves our best attention all the time.
