Hey All,
Read this passage from Matthew and I will comment afterwards.
Matthew 17:24-27 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
So many times we think we know how God should act in our lives. "If You just do it this way God . . .? Or on the other end, "There is no way I can do this . . ." (whatever It is).
But God has ways beyond our comprehension; like money inside a fish. It was not a vast fortune. It was just enough to meet the need. Pretty cool eh! Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz
