In today’s bible reading, Matthew 26:6-13 talks about the woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus’ head. The disciples thought it was a waste of money, money that could’ve been used for the poor or many other things. But Jesus reminded the disciples that “good deeds” (like giving money to the poor) are done to glorify God, and this woman had done just that by pouring the perfume on His head. There are many different ways to glorify God, our desire to glorify God is what's important, not necessarily the action itself.
We often forget that everything in this world boils down to giving God glory. It’s so simple, yet we make it so complicated. Giving money to the poor is, of course, a wonderful thing that we should be doing, and it does glorify God. But let’s not overlook the simplicity of glorifying God in other ways, like this woman pouring the perfume on Jesus’ head.
Let’s make a point today to not make it so complicated, and simply glorify God in all we do.
