DAY 61 - What if Jesus is watching how you make offerings?

Today’s Reading: Mark 12

(Please read Mark 12: 1 – 44 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Mark 12: 41

What if Jesus is watching how you make your offering or not making any offering every Sunday? Does that change your attitude towards offerings?

Every time when I see offering bags pass by people and they don’t put it anything, I have a very sad feeling. Do they offer only once a month so today is not that week? Are they tithing or are they stealing money from God by not tithing?

Do you give from your extra or do you give like the widow? Which kind of offering is Jesus calling you to do?

My wife and I received a challenge and invitation to make an extra offering today while we were having our daily devotion together. How about you?


Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to have the faith and courage to offer more than I can afford. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
