" But that is a widow indeed and desolate, has put their hope in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day." (I Timothy 5:5)
There are times and situations in life that are little desabled and may even become reasons for complaints and lamentations. In reality it is our attitude that will determine whether these experiences of life will be a curse or a blessing.
The Apostle Paul in his first letter to Timothy presented in Chapter 5 as our needs and that of others can be transformed into a wonderful opportunity growth and ministry. In this chapter he describes what appears to be a social welfare system within the Christian Church 2000 years ago. This system has nothing to envy to the social care systems of developed countries today.
Paul says the following about this system:
"Let the widow be put on the list only if not less than sixty years, having been the wife of one husband." (I Timothy 5:9)
Scripture scholars do not agree yet on the nature of this "mysterious" list. If however a careful reading of verses 3 to 16 are some of the requirements to be on this list of people in need, including widows
- not take any chances or type of support or help from a family member
- be over 60 years
- of good report
When we hear the word "widow" come to mind thoughts that evoke sadness, loneliness, helplessness, poverty, uncertainty. On the financial side cases like Helen Walton, widow of the founder of Wal-Mart, seem to be one of the few exceptions. His fortune is estimated at $ 18. 4 billion dollars. Few widows have this joy. Most of them do not have the financial resources to survive and sitiación is precarious.
In verse 5 Paul has two wonderful features that have a bright and positive side of widowhood. This principles can be applied to any need to touch us face:
" But that is a widow indeed and desolate, has put their hope in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day."
The first of these two aspects are related to the person who faces a real need in this case of widowhood. Paul emphasizes: that really is a widow and was left alone. So the company has not some, that there is none to attend, that person depends on one hundred percent God. This person seeks in God his refuge, his company and its physical support, emotional and spiritual. God comes to fill all things. It is precisely the person who goes through a crisis that seeking God comes to have a solid experience that may not have learned otherwise. Those
as widows lose their partner by way of divorce, if they cling to God get to experience something that would otherwise not experiementarían. I'm not saying that we want to go through these experiences, but if we play, should not be seen as the end but the beginning of a wonderful experience in Jesus.
The second aspect has to do with the opportunity it provides to the church when people need such as widows, divorcees, single parents are in their midst. It is an opportunity to minister. James says:
"Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." (1:27)
The needy have their hope in God. However, the church, the Body of Christ, which is called to fulfill their ministry to the needy. These should not be seen as a hindrance, but as an opportunity. So that the next time you go through a dark valley of life or see someone in need not complain to us or we find it a burden.
Let's see this as a wonderful opportunity to fully experience the wonderful grace of our Lord.

NEED IS OFFERING AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT GOD-PART OFFERING

The first impression we get when reading this passage is that we are witnessing the first example of favoritism in the annals of human history. God did not look with favor on Cain's offering and on the other hand we find looking with favor on Abel's offering. If you read the first part of this issue where I do an analysis of the attitude of Cain will have the background to understand that God did not show favoritism, but it was fair.
In this second part I concentrate on Abel and his offering. Cain and Abel had some things in common: children of the same parents and the same information with regard to sin and the plan of salvation. Differed in their professions, Cain was a farmer and Abel a shepherd. However, differences in their spiritual experience was huge. Cain as we came to give the land he tilled a dangerously wrong. On the other hand, Abel understood and applied the concept of salvation.
An interesting in terms of Abel and blood which I believe holds the key to understanding why his offering was accepted. The first thing to understand is the symbolism that God himself assigned to the blood:
"But flesh with its life, ie your blood does not require it certainly comeréis.Y the blood of your lives, of all beast will I require. And every man, every man's brother will I require the life of hombre.El Whoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God made man. "(Genesis 9:4-6)
Blood is synonymous with life in both the biological and spiritual. Blood is not only life but also speaks. Biologically, a blood test can reveal many things from parenting someone has the propensity to disease or presence of the same. Listen to what God said to Cain,
"And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the earth. "(Genesis 4:10)
The writer of Hebrews confirms this truth:
" For faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by faith, being dead still speaks. "(Hebrews 11:4)
the Hebrew Bible scholars tell us that Abel means "vapor. "Certainly his life was a steamer, someone apparently went without a trace: Not married, no children, no cosntruyó a city. However, it says in Hebrews that his life still speaks. For always remember the life, though short-lived Abel. This is by the fact that he understood that life life that pleases God and that leaves a positive impact on human life is sacrificed. Notice the two times when the sacrifice is woven into the experience of Abel:

Notice the two times when the sacrifice is woven into the experience of Abel:
- When you bring your offering, the firstborn of his flock
- When the same day, sacrificed his life for justice
The Apostle John reveals the motivations that led Cain to kill his brother
"Not as Cain who was the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil, and your brother's righteous. "(I John 3:12)
Cain's attitude and life does not indicate a willingness to sacrifice. Did not bring a sacrifice but a gift. Wanted to share with God of the fruits of their labors. Their sacrifice was not offering to speak, because there was no blood involved. The blood of the sacrifice of Abel if he spoke of his faith and trust in the plan and the will of God for fallen man.
That's why John himself after giving the reasons for the murder of Abel says:
"Brothers, do not marvel if the world hates you." (I John 3:13) All life sacrificed
on the altar of God will attract the world's hatred. However, it is the life whose influence affects the heavens and on earth. So the offering of Mary Magdalene and the widow will always be remembered, for a sacrifice involved. And not only will remembered but also were accepted. So it was accepted the offering of Jesus because it was a sacrifice. And the author of Hebrews gives us this contudente statement
"And to Jesus the mediator of the covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than the blood of Abel." (Hebrews 12:24)
follow the counsel of the apostle Paul in order to experience the joy of life in Jesus Christ:
"Therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a sacrifice live holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship racional.Y not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, to prove what the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. "(Romans 12:1-2)
