The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante... -
If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you. Matthew 17:27 WEB.
When Jesus and Peter returned home to Capernaum, the tax collectors asked Peter for the temple tax, which all Israelites over 20 years of age had to pay annually. They began collecting this tax about a month before Passover, and they used this two-drachma tax to pay for the repairs and maintenance of the temple in Jerusalem.
Apparently, Peter and Jesus didn't have that much money with them. So Jesus told Peter to go fishing and that the first fish he caught would have a silver stater coin in its mouth, which was equal to four drachmas. He could then use that coin to pay the temple tax for them both. What are the chances of that happening? I grew up fishing and never caught one like that.
Yet once, when I was out of work for a season, I really needed two-hundred-fifty dollars to pay a bill and had no way to get it. After coming home from church that Sunday, I found an envelope tucked into my Bible. When I opened it, I found two hundred and fifty dollars inside. I still don't know who did it, but they had certainly heard from the Lord.
We like to be self-sustaining, and to have to depend on others is a struggle. It's certainly more blessed to be able to give than to have to receive. But when you find that you have to depend on God, you will find that He is more than enough. So today, if you find yourself in a tight spot, know that He can help you. So don't give up. God Almighty is well able to bring something out of nothing.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You know my needs before I even ask, and You know the things I face. Please provide for me and boost my faith along the way. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

The only way to be a good follower of Jesus Christ is to be thankful for the gifts you have received and to try to do the best you can with these gifts. We are all special in our own way and God made us the way we are for a reason. Try to discover your gifts and serve in the body using these gifts, in this way you will be working for the Lord and it will give you peace and God will provide all that you need. When we put God first in our life, he will provide everything that we need and sometimes things we dont need but really want.Teach your children about Jesus and that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. I meet so many people that think there are various ways to get to Heaven but as Christ followers we know there is only one way, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen!
