Matthew 22:20-21 “Whose image and inscription is this?” he
asked. “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said, “Give to Caesar what belongs to
Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”
Yesterday was tax day.
I hope everyone got their returns or extensions filed. Jesus gives some
good advice here that we can apply to our times. We should pay the taxes that we owe to our
country. Not only that, if we don’t we can be penalized. But what about giving
unto God what is God’s? Scripture
directs everyone to tithe ten percent of our income. Just as our country
maintains infrastructure, defenses and many other things with the taxes we pay,
so the church needs our tithes to survive and carry out its ministry. You have
rendered unto Caesar. Have you rendered
unto God?
There are so many demands Lord on our finances. They are often limited. Help us to be
obedient to your will that we should assume our responsibility to support your
church which is the body of Christ. In
His name we pray. Amen.
Have
a blessed day,Paige
