The Widow's Two Coins — a 5-minute devotion for Zomba 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.
Parents in Zomba often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Luke 21:1-4 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "god measures cost, not amount" is harder than it sounds.
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: pick one person in Zomba — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. God measures cost, not amount only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: the greatest commandment (Mark 12:28-34). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
