Good morning! How are we faithing? Look at this...
Luke 21:1-4And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. And He saw a certain poor widow putting in two small copper coins. And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them; for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."
NAS
Is this telling us to give all our money to the church? Is this even about money? This is about the heart. The rich guy is holding on tight fisted to his possessions while that poor woman is willing to give all for God. The attitude the poor woman has is one of total trust, faith and devotion to the creator and savior while the rich guys eyes are shifted from the things of God to the world. We all get caught up in this kind of thing, I know I have and do. The flesh is really hard to conquer but with our steadfastness to reading the Word daily we can recognize things before they get out of hand and then correct them. Old habits and ideas are very hard to dismiss or correct if we don't seek the source of all truth. You think about and pray about this today. Look at how you react and act in situations and make adjustments accordingly.
Heavenly Father,
Lord, we ask to have a heart for you and to have courage and wisdom to resist things that are not good for us. We ask that you tap us on the shoulder when we fail to recognize bad behavior. Lord we want to reflect you in all we do therefore we ask for a touch on our lives. Thank you Lord for all you do for us and the grace to overlook our failures and see our hearts. In Jesus name we pray, amen
