Give God What Is His
Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's. And give to God the things that are God's." The men
were amazed at what Jesus said.
-- Mark 12:17 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' answer was as simple as it was profound. Jesus refused to get
caught in their debate, but instead placed the responsibility on each
of us to decide what is "Caesar's" and what is God's. Jesus spoke with
a convicting simplicity that challenged men and women to take
responsibility for honoring God, for living responsibly with others,
and for honoring our earthly citizenship in holy and honorable ways.
Jesus' words still speak to us. What are they challenging you to do
today?
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father, the responsibilities of my earthly citizenship and my
heavenly one sometimes pull me in different directions. Please help me
know what is "Caesar's" and what is yours! I want to live honorably in
my earthly homeland and show myself a good citizen. However, dear
Father, I never want to do anything that would compromise my clear
allegiance to you. Give me wisdom as I seek to live as an example of
your grace, your holy character, and your holy wisdom before others. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
