In the economy of the Kingdom the power of your gift is not determined by its monetary value, but by the faith required to give it. After observing the rich giving large gifts and a poor widow who only gave two copper coins Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on” (Luke 21:4 ESV). It requires little faith to give out of your abundance, but it requires great faith to give all you have to live on!
“Then Jesus answered and said unto her, ‘O woman, great is thy faith…'”
— Matthew 10:28 (KJV)
Lord, help us to give the kind of offerings that require great faith. Amen.
