We tend to forget how different holy days offerings were under the Old Covenant. However, the important part of giving offerings remains the same.

An acceptable offering must be thoughtfully considered, contain some sacrifice, given in faith and without a grudging spirit.

The widow described in Luke 21:1-4 gave a paltry 2 mites—a mere quarter of one cent. Yet she sacrificed all she had rather than giving from excess.

The widow who gave a mere two mites gave more than all the other contributors combined because she gave out of her poverty with genuine sacrifice.

We will not have faith tomorrow simply because we had it yesterday; we must renew faith daily by deliberately remembering God's prior interventions.
