Read Mt 22:15-22; Mk 12:13-17; Lk 20:20-26
In these passages we see that Jesus gives place for human government and honor to God. We are reminded that it is God who claims us, who made us in his own image. I believe there are three specific ways we can give Honor to God: our time, our talent and our treasure.
Time: Are we using our time to grow in intimacy with God and in love for neighbor - even when its's inconvenient?
Talent: Are we using our gifts and talents to serve those in our home, city, workplace and church - even when it's inconvenient?
Treasure: Are we giving our treasures, our money to serve the poor, the marginalized and the forgotten - even when we want to keep it for ourselves?
Pray: Jesus, you are not asking me to do anything that you have not already done. Thank you for making your way to the cross to offer your body as a living sacrifice.
