The Widow’s Mite
Little Axe has mites!! And God wants more!! You mean, you haven’t noticed all those itsy bitsy things lately? Oh, you though C.M. was talking about bugs. (LOL).
No, C.M. is talking about the widow’s mites. You know, the kind from the parable. Jesus was teaching those who thought they were giving a lot of money to God. They probably did give a lot but not with the right kind of giving heart. You see, the widow gave not just a little, not just a 10th…but all she had! Can you imagine what God would do with that small amount? What? Did I hear someone say probably not much?…au contraire. Have you forgotten about feeding over 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish? (And we though it was tough having enough to feed 100 on the 1st Sunday of the month.) And remember what Jesus did at the Canaan wedding with plain old well water. Oh, and needless to say what he could do with a withered hand, the sightless, or a leper.
I believe in the widow’s mite, even more than Bill Gates billions. You see, God has the bank with the best interest anywhere; His collateral might be the cattle on a thousand hills or a mansion over the hilltop, shiny pearly gates on streets of gold. If he needed to he would (and did) bring out the highest stake, 3 rusty nails on an old rugged cross! So, make sure you don’t neglect that mite of a penny you see on the sidewalk, or the loose coins that fall in the sofa, or an aluminum can on the side of the road. It’s worth a lot more than you think. What will you give to God? Remember who your banker is!
