We invariably need to render to Caesar that which is Caesar’s.When we do, we must be careful to render to Caesar only that which is Caesar’s, and not render to Caesar anything that is God’s.
Wasn't sure where you were going with this one at first, but it turned out to be a very good read as usual. Linking once again @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
I have a confession: most of the time I don’t know where I’m going at first.
I start off with a sentence, or maybe just a word. There’s a lot of stream of consciousness writing that comes after that. Then at the end I wrestle it into something hopefully coherent! :P
You’ve been working long hours lately, Peter. Afterward, you still have to do laundry, make dinner, and all of the time-consuming chores of life. I have repeatedly wished that I could be there for you, to help with the mundane tasks so that you could devote your attentions to the calling God has given you: the use of your magnificent mind.
Instead, all I can offer you are two songs from our childhood: “Whistle While You Work” (from the original Disney “Snow White”), and “Just a Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down” ( from “Mary Poppins”). As an adult, I see why those songs were included in those movies, as the lyrics are sage advice for lifelong use.
You’re going to love retirement, Peter. That’s when you’ll be able to spend almost all of your time on manifesting your purposes in life. And yes, I believe God will give you the means by which you will be able to retire. You have been trusting God to provide, and I believe He will. I am one pathway by which this could happen, and I feel led by God in this. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart”, dear friend.
