Devotion:
Read Mark 12:41-44.
Have you ever sat down at the mall or along the sidewalk and just observed people as they pass by? I love the many times that the Gospel writers tell us about Jesus teaching by just paying attention to what was going on around him. This is one of those times. I think Jesus was just sitting with his disciples at the temple, taking note of what was going on around him, when he noticed what this woman did. He could tell that she had very little, yet he saw her give the last two coins she had for God’s mission.
There is a lot of good news here. God notices us as individuals. And God notices what may seem little and insignificant in the eyes of the world. God knows the sacrifices you make. Also, the Spirit is always looking for opportunities to teach you and me something more about God’s kingdom, if we will pay attention to what is going on around us. You never know when you will see or hear a sign of God’s continuing involvement in our world. And that’s always good news!
Personal Worship Option:
Join us in worship today as we continue to ask ourselves “What is the gospel (good news) according to me?”
