Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer”
Today’s Reading: Psalm 73:12-20 (NIV)*
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
LORD God,
bring me to your sanctuary.
Help me to enter into communion with you.
Help me discern what is of real value
in a world filled with idols and shams.
Give me your understanding.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
The Temple Tax
After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum,
the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax
came to Peter and asked,
“Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
“Yes, he does,” he replied.
When Peter came into the house,
Jesus was the first to speak.
“What do you think, Simon?” he asked.
“From whom do the kings of the earth
collect duty and taxes—
from their own children or from others?”
“From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the children are exempt,”
Jesus said to him.
“But so that we may not cause offense,
go to the lake and throw out your line.
Take the first fish you catch;
open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin.
Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
(Matthew 17:24-27).

Dear friends,
if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God
and receive from him anything we ask,
because we keep his commands
and do what pleases him.
(1 John 3:21-22 NIV)
