Trust Him

Daily Reading – Numbers 26-27 / Mark 12:28-44

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 12:43-44 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Jesus made a point of calling His disciples over to see what this widow had done. Some take this as a financial lesson. That somehow, we are to give all our money to the church. However, the point of His lesson had little to do with the amount of money she gave.

      As she gave all she had, when others gave a little of their left-over wealth, Jesus wanted the disciples to see a deeper message than that of the money. His point was her faith. She totally trusted God would take care of her.

      Earlier in verse 30 Jesus told a man to love God with everything he has. His heart, mind, soul, and body. That person did not get what Jesus meant, but this widow woman did. Jesus wanted the disciples to see real faith.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

The question is, do we see it today?
