One of my favorite songs is “I pour my love on you” and
whenever I sing this song, I remember Mary and the anointing at Bethany.
"Then Mary took a
twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she
anointed Jesus' feet with it and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house
was filled with fragrance" John 12: 3
Oh what a wonderful way to worship her master and lover of
her soul. It was so beautiful, so pure,
so sacrificial that one of the disciples, Judas Iscariot spoke out against it
“That perfume was worth a small fortune. It should have been sold and the money
given to the poor” (vs.5)
Is there anything as
too much worship? I don’t think so. God has been too faithful to us and even if
every part of our bodies were orchestrated to sing and we do it all week/month/year……it
wouldn’t still be enough.
You can never worship
God too exuberantly for God knows, even if your critics don’t, that the rocks
will cry out. Consider Jesus’ words in Luke 19:38-40 “But He answered and said
to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would
immediately cry out.’’
Nothing builds
intimacy like the words of love and appreciation. When you take time to stand
and bathe your soul in the presence of God, people will say “what a waste” but
it does not matter because they don’t know what God saved and delivered you
from and that that is how you ENTER, ENJOY AND THRIVE in the presence of God
So put aside yourself consciousness and concern over what
others think and pour out your heart in worship. Let the fragrance of your praise
fill the earth, it’s never too much. God bless you
