Man’s standard or heaven’s assessment? The Bible reading today tells the profound story of a woman of purpose whose act of service was judged as wasteful by the typical standards by which the disciples knew to measure such an act which was the fact that the expensive oil that was spent on Jesus could be sold and used to feed the poor.  However, the ultimate judge of our hearts, intents and purpose adjudged it as an excellent pass mark, one that got the woman a place in the future of the gospel of Christ because as Jesus said that everywhere the gospel will be mentioned, her actions will be me recognized as a memorial. Kingdom assignments are not to be rationalized, because there is a place for everything in the kingdom.  Paying your tithe according to God’s commandment cannot be substituted by good works to the poor. Each has its own place in God’s kingdom agenda. When God gives you a specific assignment, regardless of how men’s assessment look like, the determinant of the success of the assignment is the one who has given it. Are you seeking heaven’s endorsement on your specific assignment or bowing to the assessment of men?

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you because you are the God that gives a vision and grants provision to deliver on the assignment. Lord I receive renewed strength to obey completely every assignment that you have given me. Let my life bring glory to your name always in Jesus name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. ‎
