Lessons from the Widow - 32nd Sunday in OT

Those coins, dropped in the temple treasury that day, where an important part of this widow’s witness to the power of God to make all things new! By dropping in those coins, she realized she was part of something bigger than herself. She was participating in God’s work on earth. No wonder Jesus was pleased to see her make her offering. No wonder He praised her to his disciples. She had been victorious over her grief. She trusted God for her daily bread, and she was involved in the ongoing work of the kingdom. God measures not how much you give, but how much you have left over. Is there any question this poor widow loved God? She put her money where her heart was. She gave all she had. And Jesus praised her.
