In the economy of the Kingdom the size of our offering is not measured by how much we give but by how much we keep. Luke says, “Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, ‘Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.
Let me ask you a question. Are you measuring the size of your offering based on how much you give or how much you keep?
“For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on’”
— Luke 21:1-4 (ESV)
Lord Jesus, teach us to give out of our need not just out of our abundance. Amen.
