Luke 21:4 (NKJV) 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”
Looking back many, many years, to when we first started to tithe and give of our offerings, we were in a position just like this woman; Broke, and in debt.
We heard a message about “Entering into a Covenant with God” being taught that day, and we KNEW God was speaking to our hearts.
We really didn’t question the financial position we were in. We just knew we had to take this step if we ever were to get out of our situation.
On our ride home that day we were silent. It was a humbling kind of silence. We had made a decision in our hearts and decided that no matter what, we would make a covenant with God and give to Him first.
We gave out of our poverty and our need.
Things did start to change for us. We had to work hard and it didn’t happen overnight. But God was faithful to His word and His promises.
If God is speaking to your heart to give, don’t wait until everything is just so. Start when you feel the prompting. Be prayerful. He will guide your steps.
God takes note when we give to Him and trust that He will take care of our needs.
Luke 21:3 (NKJV) 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;
It was not the amount, but the commitment and sacrifice.
