Matthew 26:6-13

And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.” But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”

Are you giving the Lord your best. Pray to have a heart to surrender more of yourself to Him

Holy Conversation

I love being able to pray. Short prayers, but He gets it. Short prayers, but He fills in my blanks. Short prayers, because he knows me. Short prayers, because He did it. Although sometimes I need to take my take and pour out my heart. Let Him know how much I love Him. Let Him know how much more He is to me than any thing else is or could be. Let Him know that I agree with His Word that He is holy, righteous, and gracious. Its my conversation language. All of this before I've even begun to ask for anything. It saddens me to know that so many people don't know how to pray or don't know "to pray." I just thank you Lord for making the power of prayer real in my life. This is my installment regarding my conversation...holy conversation.

I tried to bend my knees, but heart was already bent
Words that transcend the couch are being sent
My counselor waits and ask no questions
Perfect in time gives a command not even a suggestion
I ask the Lord for guidance and clarity on my path
Just hold on to ministry and perfect my craft

Sunday School Lesson 2/21

Matthew 17:1-12

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”
When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.” And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”
