Luke 21
Daily Devotional from Luke 21--
Verse 4
The widow put in all she had to live on.
I find it interesting that Jesus would even let her do this. She had nothing and he watched her give even the little she had away. He passively sat there and observed the scene. He didn’t offer any help to the poor woman as she walked away. Now from one perspective that seems a bit callous and insensitive. But from a heavenly perspective, he’s doing her the greatest honor in the world. He’s allowing the windows of heaven to open over her life (see Mal. 3:10). I just wish we knew the rest of her story. Someday I presume we will.
Oh, for the same heart to honor and trust God, even when Jesus seems to do nothing in the moment.
