Anointing Unbiblical?

Mary anointed the feet of Jesus. This was not commanded in the Bible. Some were very uneasy with this. The anointing service of OGR is not a bible command, but there is nothing in the bible that commands against anointing for dedication. Mary anointed the feet of Jesus, and there were well meaning disciples who had a serious problem with this. Where was such an act to be found in scripture? Jesus was not sick, so why then should he be anointed?
Some of the disciples manifested displeasure at this act, and Judas boldly expressed his disapprobation at such a wasteful extravagance. 2SP 375.
“Mary could not answer her accusers. She could not explain why she had anointed Christ on this occasion. But the Holy Spirit had planned for her. Inspiration has no reasons to give. An unseen presence, it speaks to the mind and soul, and moves the hand to action. Thus many actions are performed by the power of the Holy Spirit. {RH, August 7, 1900 par. 8}
Let us realize that God is God and inspiration needs to give no reason. If something is contrary to the word of God, if an express command is given not to do something, then let us obey. But let us not be like those disciples who rose up against something because they could find “no reason” for it.
