TRUE WISDOM CAN ONLY BE FOUND BY GOING TO GOD
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask GOD, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5

ARE WE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LORD
THINKING ABOUT CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT ? ......LETS SEE WHAT THE LORD JESUS HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS ...... " Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to JESUS to catch HIM in HIS words . They came to HIM and said , " Teacher , we know YOU are a man of integrity . YOU ren't swayed by men , because YOU pay no attention to who they are : but YOU teach the way of GOD in accordance with the truth . Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not ? Should we pay or shouln't we ? But JESUS knew their hypocrisy . "Why are you trying to trap ME ? , HE asked . Bring me a denarius and let ME look at it . " They brought the coin and HE asked them , " Whose portrait is this ? And whose inscription ? " ,HE said . " Caesar's , " they replied . Then JESUS said to them , Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to GOD what is GOD'S . " And they were amazed . " MARK 12:13-17 ...... WHEN IT COMES TO GODS LAWS , INSTRUCTIONS AND WISDOM , THERE ARE NO ENTITLEMENTS ...... NONE ...... APRIL 15TH WILL BE HERE SOON ......ARE WE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LORD .....................SUMMER

Thanks for bringing this up! I think it's easy in our sin to want to tweak this or that to make our deduction list or return a little better... However, God asks us to be holy- and this means being honest. We need to trust God to provide, not try to squeeze out extra through dishonesty.
ReplyDeleteyou bet Miss Abi .... even salvaged people can get the idea that the government is "doing us wrong " and that in itself becomes the exuse for entitlement issues which can lead to sin of dishonesty ....the reality is that GOD knows our hearts and what counts most is what are we doing behind closed doors .....when noone is looking are our hearts still clean and pure ....i appreciate your comments ....have a blessed evening
ReplyDeleteWonderful words, Summer!

ReplyDeleteLove your name Summer! I have a distant cousin by that name...she's a young cute thing!
ReplyDeleteAs for taxes...I just pay them to get it done nd hope there is something coming back. You are right..."render to Caesar"...etc. Some things are just black and white.
