Today’s reading is Mark 12:1-27
“And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.”

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Are we concerned with what God is concerned or what the world is concerned? God is about having a relationship with all of His children and wants us to be a part of that purpose. Do we prioritize our time around the things of Caesar or of God? Please pray that we and our friends are about God’s purpose for our life today. Please pray for Debbie, Makenna and Kole.
