This week, we continue our series entitled Little People: Big God. The goal of this series is to encourage God's children to explore the call of God on their lives by clarifying the biblical reality that God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God does not see the world the way that we do. He is not limited by the things that we believe limit us. He is never frustrated by the challenges that bring us so much frustration.
The central thought of this series is that God does not call us because of what we have to offer Him, rather; He calls us because of what He has to offer us.
This week, we look at an unnamed widow in Mark 12:41-44. While she was poor according to the standards of this world, in God's economy she was rich in faith. She stands as a beautiful example of a person abandoning themselves in faith and dependence upon God. She teaches us that we can trust and rest in God's provision and love; and that God is not concerned with the portion of what we have to offer Him as much as the proportion. God does not need anything that we have to offer Him so He is not easily impressed by the size or amount of it. He is, however, pleased with the motivations and desires that drive us to offer unto Him. This wealthy widow demonstrates for us a pleasing faith offering unto our Heavenly Father.
