Psalm 20

In verse 3 David issues a blessing that I have seldom considered; that God would look in favor on my sacrifices. I have never asked that for myself nor for those believers around me. "May [God] take notice of your offerings." I wonder if that is what the poor widow prayed as she dropped those two copper coins in the box? (Mark 12:42) I wonder if Jesus spoke that blessing on the widow before he used her to teach his disciples about sacrifice? I can just imagine the God of all creation stopping his action and looking with overflowing love as that believer bends down to pick up the letter dropped by the mom seeking to round up her kids. And then he turns his attention to the disciple who offers a refugee a cup of water in his name. May God take notice of your offering.
