From Mark 12:42-44 – A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then [Jesus] called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”
This has been an interesting week in the scriptures where we are challenged to a radical trust in God – placing God first, especially in our most vulnerable moments. May each of us find the strength to stand firm in our trust of you if we are called to such trials.
Prayer:
Gracious God, you are our strength. Help us sense your unending presence in our lives so that we might be the faithful disciples you would have us be. AMEN.
