One poor widow came forward and put in two small copper coins worth a penny. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I assure you that this poor widow has put in more than everyone who’s been putting money in the treasury. All of them are giving out of their spare change. But she from her hopeless poverty has given everything she had, even what she needed to live on.” – Mark 12: 42-44
Gracious and loving Father, Please help me to grow into the faith that this poor widow had trusting you and you alone for all my needs. Help me to be able to put that faith into action by giving back what already belongs to you anyway. Help me to trust you enough to give the first fruits of my tithe and trust you to provide for me and my family. In Jesus’
holy name I pray, Amen.
