Today’s Devotional Theme God's Presence Changes Everything
Daily ScriptureLuke 7:36-38
“Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.”
Encouragement
Here goes. A woman who was known in the city as a great sinner comes running to the place where Jesus is dining. She brings her very costly (one year’s wages in value) alabaster jar of fragrant oils and breaks it open, pouring it on Jesus in worship. I can see her tears of pain mixed with gratefulness running down her cheeks. Her heart is now exposed for others to see as she pours the oil on her Savior, recognizing His great worth. This great sinner was acknowledging her great need for Him so she gave all that she had to glorify and worship Him.
Apply God’s Word
How are you going to respond to this challenge today to give all that you have to Jesus? I hope it’s one of surrender! You see, this woman could have held back her alabaster jar but in turn, cut herself short from experiencing the forgiveness of God. You see, if you’re still counting the cost of your alabaster jar, you haven’t discovered His worth yet! Don’t hold back your life of worship because of pride or shame! Pour out love on Jesus today. Bless Him and don’t care who is watching. Respond to His great love for you by worshiping Him with all that you are. Worship Him, no matter the cost, loss, or ridicule! Give Jesus what He is already worth of…you!
Come into His Presence
Heavenly Father, I surrender all to You. I choose to pour out my love and devotion on You. You are worthy of all my worship, my entire life is Yours. I don’t care who is watching, I’m going to live for You and break open my life in worship for You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
