Martha was too busy serving the Lord that she had no time to reflect on what the Lord expected. This led to her frustration when she realized that she was all alone in the kitchen.
Now serving God is very important, like how Joshua said, "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15).
Nevertheless, even before we serve God, we need to sit in his presence. Joshua as a young man would sit before the Lord, after Moses left the Ark of the Covenant, he would continue to dwell in God’s presence and look for his guidance (Exodus 33:11).
Joshua knew the plans of God for Israel, because he would stay in the Lord’s presence and speak to him face to face. Therefore, he did not suffer anxiety like the other Israelites. The power of God's faith dwelled in him and he knew he could conquer the enemy.
