Verses 32-37
It is a serious thing here that Jesus is warning us – to
keep watch. Basically, to stay in prayer or to be prayerful. Prayer is our
super weapon. Jesus is always praying. He loves to go to isolated areas to
pray. He loves spending time with the Father. He models this for us so that we
also can have communion with the Father.
Lord, teach me how to keep watch in prayer. Teach me how to
constantly communicate with you. Teach me how.

Verses 1-11
Jesus may have sounded really arrogant and trying to change
the rules here. But it was because the people misunderstood him, and because
they did not understand the scriptures. The woman who did the deed understood
the scriptures. It was revealed to her. She knew that Jesus was going to die.
I’m so amazed at how the average person in those days knew
about the prophecies and could interpret them correctly when the teachers of
the law and the chief religious people did not. How can one be so close to God
that he will know each step that he is directed in? How cool will that be?
Whatever my Father does, I do. Being led by the Holy Spirit every step of the
way is the ultimate goal. And I wish to do so.
“I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached
throughout the world; what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Very few receive promises that they will be remembered forever. Very many wish
to attain that.
Lord, guide me in my steps that whatever I do may be from
you.
