/ Reflect
(English)
- What stops me from being present to Jesus? Why do I view these as taking higher priority?
- What is my alabaster jar? What is one thing in my life—time, talent or treasure—that is precious and which I can offer fully to Jesus?
- Who or what am I allowing to influence me? Are there voices or distractions in my life, like the disciples in the story, that pull me away from giving my best to Jesus? How can I tune them out to focus on Him?
/ Pray
(English)
- That the reverent fear of the Lord will dictate our thoughts and actions.
- That we will have the strength to resist the fear of man, laying down every pride, every man-made crown we may be holding tight to, pressing in to do what pleases God and Him only.
- That we seek daily to do a beautiful thing unto Jesus. Let us bring Him our gifts of praise, of surrender, of sacrifice – our time, our talent, our resources – every day, in all that we do.
