The Poor. Here.

For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

Matthew 26:11

Matthew 26:6-13

What gift do I have planned for Jesus today?

When does another’s gift to Jesus make me upset?

“For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor” (Matthew 26:8).

In analyzing “waste” and stewardship, am I using the same standard as Jesus uses?

Am I also missing opportunities to praise another rather than criticizing him?

The poor. Oh, yeah, the poor. Does God see I care?

Hear Him

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Matthew 17:5

Reading:

Matthew 17:1-13

I like life’s highs (even though sometimes I find myself dreading the lows that I know are sure to come).

“Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here…” (Matthew 17:4).

Apparently good ole Peter wanted to prolong the experience.

I would have also, I’m sure.

But we have to come down.

Jesus went with them.

I’m glad He goes with me as well.
