In Mark 14:3-9, we read of a woman who anointed Jesus with fine, expensive perfume. She faced harsh and disapproving looks from those present as she did this and was rebuked for her actions. The stern faces and indignant comments did not stop her from anointing her Savior; she was not deterred. And she worshiped Him.

What stands in your way? What might stop you from worshiping? Could it be disapproval through looks and words? Might you fear the condemnation of others for your worship or the anointing of your Savior with your praise and obedience?

Do not let barriers, real or imagined, stand between you and the one who is the Way and the Light.
