Matthew 22:17-21
17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius.20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Taxes.
Hard to believe it is almost time to file.
After an appointment with our accountant, we learned that we owe—again.
How can that be?
Every year?
Seriously?
My husband relates that his coworkers get refunds…repeatedly… tax season after tax season.
Do they know something we don’t?
“Make quarterly payments,” our accountant replies.
It’s not like we don’t have mortgage and charitable deductions.
It’s not like we rely on our own expertise in filing.
Even in Jesus’s time, questions regarding taxes were front and foremost.
This year, instead of shaking our heads in disbelief or giving into the frustrations associated with taxes, we have chosen to count our blessings and be thankful for the abundance with which God has blessed us…
April 15…
A day to count our blessings.
