Day 16: Anointed One

Light the candle & think about what Jesus as 'Anointed One' means to you.

The Old Testament talks about Israelite Kings being anointed with oil, e.g. 1Samuel 10 v 1, as well as being crowned. Their coronation was the political recognition of becoming King; the anointing with oil was the religious part, reminding the King of his spiritual role to lead his people by God's wisdom. 
Are you ready to trust Jesus with your weaknesses? Whatever it may be, no matter how terrible it may seem, Jesus is here to listen, to cleanse and to be make right.

Listen to or read today’s Jesus Storybook Bible episode: ‘'The Good Shepherd – David the Shepherd King’​
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you that you guide us with your wisdom. Help us with our decision making; that we would bring glory to you with all we say & do. Thank you that like a shepherd loves & looks after his sheep, that you are our shepherd, & love & look after us. Thank you that we don't need to be afraid because you keep us safe, & make us brave & strong.
Amen.

Is there a decision you're finding hard to make at the moment? Know that God can guide you & help you! Maybe talk to someone you trust about it so that they can pray for you to know God's wisdom
