The Widow's Two Coins — a 5-minute devotion for Townsville families

Luke 21:1-4 · God measures cost, not amount

Rich people dropped large amounts into the temple treasury. A poor widow put in two tiny coins. Jesus said she had given more than all of them, because they gave from their surplus and she gave everything she had.

This works best in Townsville as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 21:1-4 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "god measures cost, not amount"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“She out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

Luke 21:4

Table question

What would generous look like for you this week — not easy, but generous?

30-second prayer

Jesus, you see what it cost. Make us generous in a way that actually costs something. Amen.

Make it stick: on the way through Townsville tomorrow, one person says the first half of "She out of her poverty put in all she had to live on." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.

Tomorrow: the greatest commandment (Mark 12:28-34). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
