“While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins. “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-4 NLT

When we have an abundance we can smugly give our 10% tithe feeling very righteous; yet the poor, wanting to please the Lord give their small amount when they know that money could buy food they desperately need. Because we, the rich, effortlessly give, we fail to comprehend the immensity of what the poor have done. Further, we do not care to understand as our minset is so far removed.

One can practice sacrificial giving pushing beyond 10%, some gradually increase in increments, until they are living on 10% and giving 90%. These people gain an understanding of sacrificial giving. The important thing is giving according to the faith God has given us. Where does He want to take us in our financial management of all He blesses us with. We are stewards of all He gives us, it is not to waste needlessly but to manage wisely, being ready to give as He prompts us to. Amen!
