“Give to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and give to God, the things that are Gods”. The Pharisees try to trip up Jesus again. Yet again Jesus shows them he is beyond their foolishness. I wonder sometimes, if God smiles at us when we try to deceive him or anyone else with our foolish behavior or attempts to throw God off our bad behavior. There is no amount of trickery that will fool God. We are truly known and loved. So openly give God yourself. Your love, service, and honesty.
