Summary

Obedience Over Opinion: John 12:1-11: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll reflects on trusting God during seasons of challenge, using the story of Mary anointing Jesus as a guide.

Obedience to God can feel risky but is essential. Mary's act of anointing Jesus was a profound sacrifice. Public worship can invite criticism, especially for women. Mary's devotion was motivated by her relationship with Jesus. Judas's criticism stemmed from greed, not concern for the poor. Extravagant acts of worship may seem foolish to others. God sees and values our heart's intentions. The opinion of God should outweigh societal expectations. There is always an invitation for spiritual growth.
