SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 THIS WIDOW, ALTHOUGH POOR DROPPED IN MORE THAN THEY ALL DID.---LUKE 21:3. JESUS, BEING PERFECT, COULD DISCERN THE UNSPOKEN INDIGNATION OF A PHARISEE, THE SINCERE REPENTANCE OF A SINFUL WOMAN, AND THE SELF-SACRI-FICING ATTITUDE OF A WIDOW. (LUKE 7:37-50L 21:1-4) THUS, JESUS COULD RES-POND TO THE SPIRITUAL NEED OF EACH ONE. HOWEVER, A SERVANT OF GOD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO BE A GOOD OBSERVER. THE APOSTLE PAUL ILLUSTRATES THAT. HE ADAPTED HIS PRESENTATION SO AS TO APPEAL TO DIF-FERENT GROUPS AND TO PEOPLE WITH VARYING ATTITUDES. (ACTS 17:22, 23, 34; 1 COR. 9:19-23) BY OUR STRIVING TO BE ALERT AND OBSERVANT LIKE JSUS AND PAU WE CAN DISCERN HOW BEST TO AWAKEN INTEREST IN THOSE WE MEET. FOR EXAMPLE, AS YOU APPROACH INDIVIDUALS, LOOK FOR CLUES THAT INDICATE THEIR CULTURE, INTERESTS, OR FAMILY SITUATION. PERHAPS YOU CAN NOTICE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT THE MOMENT AND MAKE A POLITE COMMENT ABOUT IT AS YOU INITIATE A CONVERSATION. w12 3/15 1:10, 11
