Mark 12:17
Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.
This is a day were I would invite you to pull out your bible or go online and read the verses before this one I am sharing for some context. What I do know for most people is there are so many bills to pay and where do you begin if your finances are not where you want them to be?
If your finances are doing great know that you may have a skill to help other people in this area. You are blessed to be a blessing and if your finances are something you don’t have to worry about then you are in an amazing position in this day and age.
In Jesus day there were taxes to pay. Naturally we have taxes to pay. They were really trying to trap Jesus. Almost like the question was to see if Jesus would pick one over the other. And how Jesus handled the situation with such wisdom amazed them.
There are going to be people around you that once you make the decision to give to Gods work will question you. They will try to make you doubt what you are doing. The amazing thing is that with the Christ Mind wisdom you have been building over these months of devotional studies you will be able to use that wisdom to give to God what is his and also pay your other bills. Ask the Lord for wisdom and guidance each day as you work with Him to improve your financial situation.
LORD EACH TIME I OR SOMEONE ELSE STARTS TO DOUBT HOW GIVING TO THE LORD WORKS EXPANDS AND BLESSES. I TAKE A BREATH, PRAY, AND ASK FOR GUIDANCE AND WILL BE AMAZED AT YOUR GOODNESS!
*Meditate, pray or affirm the words in BOLD or that are highlighted! Look for short daily messages from me to spread seeds of hope, encouragement, and expansion of your mind, body and spirit daily!
