Weekly Challenge: Evaluate your worldly focus in your every day life: are you letting the
negativity in the world bring you down, or are you looking to Jesus for your
security and hope? Make a conscious effort this week to let your light shine
in a dark world by changing the direction of a negative “world” conversation
towards the hope we have in Christ.
Memory Verse: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Luke 21:33
Read: Luke 21:1-4
SOAP: Luke 21:3-4
Faith is all about risk and uncertainty. The widow gave out of faith, not knowing where her next meal would come from. When was the last time I sacrificed something for Christ? I must respond to the Spirit's leading, knowing that He may call me to sacrifice and risk my own well-being for His glory.

ReplyDeleteThere was a sacrifice in the widow gift of giving and her obedience was even greater. It appears that the widow loved God more than she loved her possessions even as small as it was, for the mite was the smallest of all the coins in the land at that time, it was very costly to her. This reminds me of the saying “little is much when God is in it” and that lets me know that there is still hope for me and I have Kingdom work to get busy with. There is a lost and dying generation out there that needs Jesus and the only way to get them saved without false conversion is to show them their sins through the moral law. So I am very thankful for the teaching of the Ten Commandments we are receiving at our church and I pray I grow daily in His word.
