Giving to Caesar

Scripture: Mark 12:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s”

Observation: Caesar represents this world and I find myself giving Caesar what is God’s. All my devotion, praise, worship and obedience belongs to God yet I rob him at times and give it to Caesar.

Application: I need to first give God what is his and not give Him my leftovers. My love, affection, obedience and time first belongs to God. Caesar gets what God has called me to give.

Prayer: My Lord may I bring all my first fruits to you including the precious gift you’ve given me, time. May you open my eyes and show me how to distribute the rest.
