Paying Taxes to Caesar( A Reflection By Pastor King)

( Listen to Pastor King's Reflection on Paying Taxes )

Matt. 22:15-22- Mk 12:13-17- Lk 20:20-26
Gracious Lord, thank you for the great examples of integrity given to humanity to follow through your written Word. Teaching us to honor You with our first fruits begins with our willingness to share our gifts of offering with a clean heart. At times during tax season, we fall short in our preparation for Caesar. Lord, forgive our tardiness, anxiety, and limited organization. In these moments of distress, we seek God’s favor, peace, and clarity of mind. Please guide all who gather necessary items needed to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Grant us great grace to take the proper steps of accountability to allow time to serve us in positive ways. In the end, we thank you for bringing forth truth in our daily matters of tax reporting. Guided by Your Spirit, let us thank God now for the grace that restores and reconciles financial health upon all seeking you this day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
