The humble don’t waste their breath telling others what they’ve done or what they are about to do. Rather, quietly, each go about their own business until their assignment, job or task is complete. Making the most of every opportunity, individuals who possess a servant’s heart are on their way to making a lasting impression.
While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head, Mark 14:3.
Over the course of your life, you may witness an act that doesn’t make much sense on the surface. However, there are times people feel compelled to do something, regardless of how bizarre, crazy or strange it might seem. Nonetheless, one day a woman followed the prompting in her heart to anoint Jesus with an expensive jar of perfume.
Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her,” Mark 14:9.
Based upon Jesus’ compliment of this woman, making a lasting impression involves stepping out in faith. Sure, doing what’s right when no one is looking is a good start. However, to keep in step with the Holy Spirit requires a keen awareness, grounded in the wisdom of the Bible. May those of you who seek to leave behind a legacy of faith, follow in the footsteps of this selfless act.
