In this episode of My Morning Devotional, host Stephanie leads a reflective Holy Week devotional titled 'A Quiet Day,' focusing on Matthew 26:14–16 and Mark 14:1–11. The episode centers on the contrast between Judas’s betrayal for 30 pieces of silver and the unnamed woman’s extravagant act of pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’ head—a gesture of profound loyalty and sacrifice. Stephanie emphasizes that proximity to Jesus does not equate to true loyalty, urging listeners to examine whether they are offering only fragments of their lives or their entire selves. She calls listeners to a 15-minute silence on this Silent Wednesday to listen for God’s voice, surrendering fears, control issues, brokenness, and every unyielded part of their lives. The devotional culminates in a prayer declaring that God will speak clearly to those who are still, inviting transformation through intimate, quiet communion.
Proximity to Jesus is not the same as loyalty to Him—true loyalty means surrendering everything.
Sacrifice for Jesus is not measured in small gestures but in total surrender of heart, mind, and life.
Silence is a spiritual discipline that allows God to speak—set aside 15 minutes to listen, not just pray.
The woman with the alabaster box modeled radical devotion; her act will be remembered wherever the gospel is preached.
God desires the whole person—your fears, anger, brokenness, and control issues—He wants it all.
