Giving To God in Obedience ~ Sunday Wisdom

“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”  (Matthew 22:21)

In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that it is important to meet both our earthly and heavenly needs. As a member of society, it is important for us to pay taxes, exercise the right to vote, and defend our country. Regardless of our faith, nationality, or citizenship we also have the obligation to practice obedience by giving to God what is God’s.

What exactly belongs to God? Well, in my opinion, everything! We are all made in the likeness of God and depend upon Him for our very next breath. Our time, talent, and treasure are all graces given to us by our loving God. Being obedient in prayer, practicing the Sacraments, and showing mercy to others is part of our heavenly need and God is forever calling us and challenging us to surrender to Him.

So today, let us listen deeply, practice obedience and entrust our lives to the Lord. Peace!
