Mark 14:3 – “While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head.”
As we look at today’s scripture, of course you know where my thoughts are going – let’s be sure to check our own giving moments and motivations. When was the last time you really sacrificed something that you didn’t plan to give away in the first place? How many times have you resisted completing a much needed task because it was uncomfortable or didn’t directly benefit you? Been guilty lately of doing just enough to get by? All of these are examples of not giving God our best. We might think that we are doing fine because we attend church services, promise to curse or drink less or give an occasional dollar to a street beggar; but are we really making sacrificial giving to reciprocate the love that God showers on us? Take a moment and think about the last time you gave of ‘yourself’. Find a way today to give of your best!
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-filled great day. Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose. Be blessed. Dr. JoAnn
