Psalm 91:14 14“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
Jesus was in a house in Bethany when a woman came to Him with
an alabaster flask containing very costly fragrant oil. She
poured the oil on His head. (Matthew 26:6–7) This woman loved
the Lord. She had set her love upon Him.
But those who were present considered what she did a great
waste because the oil could have been sold for an amount equal
to one year’s wages, and the money given to the poor instead.
Even Jesus’ disciples were indignant and asked her, “Why this
waste?” (Matthew 26:8)
But Jesus defended her, saying, “Why do you trouble the
woman? For she has done a good work for Me.” (Matthew 26:10)
Not only that, He accorded her the highest honor when He
added, “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.” (Matthew 26:13)
Two thousand years have passed since this woman anointed
Jesus with the expensive oil. She never expected in her
wildest dreams that her act of love would be told down through
the ages. Many kings and rulers have come and gone. Their
great acts have faded from the memories of men. But what this
woman did for Jesus is still told today around the world as a
memorial to her!
When you get a revelation of how much Jesus loves you, you
will set your love upon Him. And when you act out of love for
Him, though others may see it as a waste of time, energy or
money, He will defend you and deliver you from your critics.
He will also set you on high. Your ministry will become
powerful and life-changing. Your work will be highly esteemed
among your peers. Your company will be prominent and highly
successful. And it will not just be a job that you have, but a
position of influence to impact many lives.
So set your love upon Jesus. Make Him the love of your life
today, and He will defend, deliver and set you on high!
