S – Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, 2 and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3 And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”
Luke 21:1–4 ESV
O – Jesus “saw” the woman. His observation was in the physical realm (what she was doing) and the realm beyond the natural. He sees us in all realms. Man looks at the outside but God looks at the heart.
A – Many times in Luke, Jesus tells the physical and spiritual dynamic of a situation. He has that ability to do that with us as we go through our day. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our day, we can do the same thing. We can participate in the physical realm while being lead by the Holy Spirit in the spiritual realm through discernment and promptings. It isn’t weird and spooky – it aligns with God’s character and word.
R – Heavenly Father, you are all knowing and all powerful. We invite your Holy Spirit to give us discernment and leading to operate in the physical and spiritual realms. We want to impact our environments today with your love, compassion and courage.
