Reading: Luke 21:1-19, Hebrews 2:1-9, Proverbs 19:15-29, Isaiah 6-8


Recall:
for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on. Luke 21:14
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!” Isaiah 6:8
Reflect:
Who will go for us? Here I am send me. Each of us has to answer that many times. Even when we question whether or not we can. We're used to giving out of our abundance. We figure out whether or not we have some extra time to participate in something. We make sure that we and "our own" are taken care of first, then we can start to worry about others. But the widow gave out of her poverty. She scraped up all that she had and gave it. It mattered.
Respond:
Here am I; send me.
