11 29 Luke 21.1-4 The observation Jesus made about the widow provides some valuable insight into our own giving. First, we see that Jesus observed all that gave and all that they gave. He watches us when we give and He knows the motivation of the heart. Second, He knows all that we withhold as well. Scripture provides timeless insight into how we should give from II Corinthians 8:1-15 and 9:6-7. These passages remind us of some important principles as we give to the Lord. A gift to the Lord is truly a gift when it is given freely, fully, faithfully and by faith as we trust the Lord to provide what we need. The Macedonian church is an example in giving in that they first gave of themselves to the Lord. We cannot give our all if we have not first given ourselves to Him.
