Faithful Giving: Lessons from the Widow’s Offering

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day journey on faithful giving, inspired by the story of the widow's offering. In a world often focused on abundance and material success, this study challenges us to see finances through God's eyes—centered on faith, trust, and sacrificial love. The poor widow in Mark 12:41-44 gave all she had to live on, and Jesus praised her as the greatest giver. What can her example teach us about our own relationship to money and generosity?

Throughout this plan, you will explore the heart behind giving, the tension between scarcity and faith, and the true riches found in obedience and trust in God. Giving is not just about the amount but the spirit in which it is done. The widow's story reminds us that God values the condition of our hearts more than the sum of our gifts.

As you reflect on these passages, expect to be challenged and encouraged. You may be prompted to re-evaluate how you view finances, possessions, and your willingness to trust God with your resources. This study is about more than money—it’s about faith, surrender, and the joy of partnering with God in generosity.

Let this time deepen your understanding to give not out of obligation or excess, but out of genuine trust, just like the widow did. May it inspire you to honor God with your resources no matter your circumstances.
