But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money.” So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Matthew 27:6 – 8
Lord it often amazes me how things like this happen.
30 pieces of silver – they were what Judas was paid to betray You – and now they are used for something great. A potter’s field for those that didn’t have a place to be buried.
This action reminds me again of the verse Romans 8:28 – ‘And God CAUSES all thing to work together for good for them that love You and are called according to Your purpose.’
Oh how wonderful it is to see Your work in action.
We thank You Lord for Your many gifts. They are awesome and all we need to do is open our eyes to see them all around us.
Thank You for each gift.
Thank You Lord.
