Ephesians 4:26-27 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil. (NKJV)

Psalm 23:5 “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.“
Starting with Adam and Eve in the garden, God has made provision for his people.
Genesis 3:21 “Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.”
God is not “stingy” with His blessings, and delights in seeing His people prosper. Scripture tells us that it is His good pleasure to bless His people.
Luke 12:32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
Not only is it God’s good pleasure to provide for His people, He provides in abundance. The psalmist stated in the 23 Psalm that their “cup runs over.”
2nd Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
God gives increase to His people in proportion to His infinite resources, not just a minimum amount out of His riches. The blessings of God do not have an expiration date; He is truly a gracious God.
Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Father in heaven, thank you for your abundance, in Jesus name…Amen!

There is a difference between crying and weeping.
At one time or another, we all have shed a tear over something or someone. God has equipped our bodies with healing and cleansing through the shedding of tears.
“Jesus wept” John 11:35

“What Ever”
Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (NKJV)
Three of the gospels record Mary (the sister of Martha and Lazarus) with the act of anointing Jesus with oil.
John 12:3 “Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.”
Mary performed this act to signal her devotion and may not have realized the significance of what she was doing. Mary’s act of anointing Jesus symbolized the anticipation of His death and burial, also the anointing of Jesus by Mary can also be looked at as an act of worship.
Colossians 3:23-24 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men (people pleasing) Vs 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”
Incentive: something that motivates or encourages one to do something or work harder.
Mary had the incentive to use expensive oil contained in an expensive container, not being concerned about the cost of the oil or the container.
1st Corinthians 10:31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
Motivation: the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
Mary was motivated to do what she did as an act of worship, and not to impress Jesus or others that were there in the house.
1st Peter 4:10 “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Priorities: the order of importance of doing things.
Mary’s priority was focused on doing what honored Jesus, and not being discouraged about the comments, or what people were saying about why she was using the expensive oil or breaking the alabaster flask.
Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
Often time’s people will question your actions because what they see you doing does not make sense to them. One of the disciples, Judas asked the question “why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
Financial gain should not always be the incentive, motivation or the priority for a person’s actions.
“What Ever“ is said or done in a person’s life should be done to the glory of God.
Father in heaven, may both our words and deeds magnify and glorify you, and be pleasing in your eyesight, in Jesus name…Amen!
