Thought For Today

When they (disciples) came to Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came home Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tribute?” And when he said, “From others.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for Me and for yourself.” Matthew 17:24 – 28

Thank You Lord for allowing us to know about the interesting things that You caused to happen when You were here on earth. This was certainly one of them. Who could have know what You knew….a shekel in the fishes mouth.

Thank You for showing us that You knew everything and could use anything to bring glory to Your name. This was certainly one of those instances.

Thank You! Thank You Lord.
