'Why, if It Is for Me?' - Mark 14:6

But Jesus replied, "Leave [the woman who poured perfume on my head] alone. Why criticize her for doing such a good thing to me?"

—Mark 14:6 NLT

Key Thought​

Like Jesus does so often in his earthly ministry, he protects a vulnerable person from criticism and attack and also finds a way to affirm and bless that person. He emphasizes the good this woman has done. May we be willing to do the same for others who are generous, kind, and loving to the Lord Jesus and to other people!

Today's Prayer​

Gracious Father, open my eyes and help me see those who are doing good things in the name of Jesus. Use me to affirm their work and bring them a blessing. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
