Daily Thoughts - Make God Known
"They sent some Pharisees and Herodians to him to ensnare him in his speech.
Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at."
So Jesus said to them, "Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." They were utterly amazed at him. Mark 12:13, 15, 17
Open the eyes of my heart Lord. Jesus stands before His accuser and demonstrates His true character. He has no hidden agenda, ill will, anger, or animosity towards them. He only speaks the truth with what He as been given. He has accepted this is the path that His Father has Him on. Each day brings about the opportunity within daily life to bring glory to God.
We ourselves are given difficult situations to respond to, what character in you comes out? Is it one of love that does not respond in anger or hatred? Is it one that speaks truth that brings glory to God the Father. All good things come from above and even within His permissible will, He is there so we can become more like His intended creation.
Slow down, take a deep breath and look with the heart, see how Jesus would respond. Life is a great educator! Learn the lessons well.
Dear Father, it is a beautiful morning filled with the joy of the day. You have blessed us with the choice to chose our path, help us recognize who is manipulating the situations in our day to trip us up causing strive and turmoil. May we turn to you in our moments of concern and look with the heart of Jesus in how we are to glorify You. Prayers for a world wandering away from Your grace, awaken our senses to Your reality. Bless this day and give Your servant Israel wisdom. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Christ, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
