Happy Monday blog friends,
Today is April 15th - Tax Day. Here is the good news! Jesus Christ is alive and well. Here is the bad news. When Jesus walked on this earth He taught us to render unto Caeser what is Caeser's, and to render unto God what is God's. The reason that this is bad news is that we don't like rendering unto anyone. But what I pray happens is this: We give to God because we love Him. We give to the IRS because we have to. Either way, we can go to sleep at night knowing that we have done what God would have us to do.
One other thing. Think of it this way. If you are not getting a tax refund, then you can know that you were able to keep your money all year. If you are getting a tax refund, then you can know that it was your money in the first place. They are just giving you back what you loaned tem this year. If you are having to pay, then you can know that you have used their money for the past year.
Either way, as stupid and careless as our political leaders are when it comes to spending, I can know that I am blessed to live in the greatest country in the world, and that I support the USA. I will give unto the USA what belongs to the USA. I will tithe to God through the church. And I will pray for both the church and the government to do the right thing with my resources.
But remember: It's all about Him!
