Numbers 6:1-7:89Mark 12:38-13:13
Psalm 49:1-20
Proverbs 10:27-28
When the widow placed two copper coins in the collection, the Apostles assumed like everyone else, she had given only a piece of her faith. That was until Jesus came and rebuked the Apostles. Problem is, too often we fall into the same trap about judging other people's works, not knowing all that they are putting into them. I've seen Christians give a ton, and I've seen Christians give a little. A ton of love, a ton of money, a ton of service. A little joy, a little hope, a little kindness. Maybe, just maybe I don't really know what percentage a person is offering as they give. Maybe one person's 100% looks different from another person's 100%. Possibly being like Jesus is not questioning what percentage has been given, but honoring the giver. Who knows? I just know that recently the issue of who does what seems to be on my mind. Jesus says, "Looks can be deceiving."
