Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

"The Poor Little Rich Woman!"

NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Mark 12:1-44 (NIV)

She was poorer than Job's turkey...she had nothing but she gave it all, only two small copper coins, worth not even a penny even in today's market. Can't do much with a penny. It used to buy "penny candy" at the store; today it is found lying on the streets or even on our floors, not worth what anyone would want.....or could I be wrong?

For you see, that day in that place, the Savior watched the wealthy give their gold, proudly put their noses up in the air, and move on, slow enough to draw the attention of anyone who cared. He watched the little woman meekly deposit in the coffers, literally, her last penny.

He watched and he weighed it - in His eyes, the gold did not amount to a hill of beans. The half-a-penny was, however, worth its weight in gold--for it was all she had. Extravagant love did not go unnoticed by the Lord; the story is re-told in every version of the Bible you own.

So who was poor? Who was rich? Think about it, give Him YOUR best, and you will have a God-filled, choco-covered day like you can't believe!

PRAYER: "Lord, sometimes I hold my pennies too tightly, afraid to surrender what I have for fear there is no more. Free me from anxiety and over-concern; help me to give generously from my heart this day to someone in need. I will please you and I will be the richer for it, I know. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
