Precious Woman of Faith,
- The Bible story where Mary pours perfume on Jesus' feet shows love in action. Mary understood how valuable God is and showed her love through worship. By looking at Mary’s devotion to Jesus, we can find inspiration to give and receive love in our own relationships with God.
- God is worthy of our worship, and each of us ultimately worships something based on how we spend our time and energy. The story of Mary’s act of worship reminds us that nothing deserves our worship more than God. We need to eliminate any idols in our lives—those people or things we prioritize over God—and make Him our top focus in our schedules and decisions.
Here are four ways we can apply these valuable lessons to our spiritual lives:
- We can wholeheartedly dedicate our lives to God, just as Mary powerfully expressed her love by anointing Jesus with precious perfume.
- What we pay attention to shows what we value. We can prioritize our relationship with God, making Him number one.
- We can communicate with God through regular Bible reading, prayer, and meditation. Worship is not just a weekly service; it should be part of our daily lives, showing our love for Him every day.
- We can be grateful to God for His love and blessings and celebrate His wonders.
Worship is a choice, and we have a valuable opportunity to engage in it each day. Let's make a conscious effort to give our best in worship, reflecting on the incredible gift He has given us in Jesus.
