“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that God’s.”
When the religious leaders tried to trip up Jesus with the question, should we pay taxes to the Roman
government? Jesus turns it around to them and separates the things of God from the things of this
world. The real question for us is, are we rendering unto God what is due Him? Are we in a routine of
daily prayer, Bible reading, ministering to others, giving financially to the Lord? If we are doing these
disciplines, all the other stuff will fall into place. The more time I spend rendering unto the Lord, the
better things seem to get for me and those I’m responsible for. How about you?
Abiding in Him,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
