She hath done what she could.
The woman in our verse had poured an alabaster box of ointment on the Lord’s head, much to the disgust of those eating with the Lord. But Jesus appreciated it. He recognized that it was done from a heart of love and He accepted it as an anointing before His death. The woman probably didn’t know the full significance of what she had done, but the secret of service is to do it for the Lord. If it’s done for self-gratification or self-glory, then the service won’t be acceptable to the Lord. This woman’s act, misunderstood and not appreciated by those around, got a high commendation from the Lord - “She hath done what she could.” Oh that the Lord will be able to say that of each one of us.
