November 2 "Give, Live Out of Poverty" Luke 21:4

The widow gave out of her poverty not her surplus. Luke 21:4.  O God, what Truth is in this. How shall we then live this day, this new sunrise?

PRAYER FROM PSALMS
May Psa 51:4 be ever so real in our poverty of soul.
Let the truth sink way down deep.

“Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.”
