She had the carefulness of a thrifty house wife for the physical comfort of her I nguest. She was worried with the petty details of the household arrangements.

It also appeared as lack of L appreciation of Martha's fidelity on the ANCIENT s part of Jesus. Martha's rebuke of this Lo shirking and discourtesy was sharp and Sdireot. She learned from the Master that her fussiness and bustle about bodi. ly comfort was not the best way to do Him honor and win His favor.
