Mark 12
Inspired thots
The chapter started off with the parable of the Wicked Tenants who mistreated and killed not only the servants but the only son of the vineyard owner. I felt indignant that the tenants should be so covetous over what is not theirs to take away the life of the owner's only son. But this is Exactly how it was with Father God and His Only Son, Jesus. What a heavy price to pay.
Then the chapter reminds me of 'rendering to Caesar (world) the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God'. How true! Be not caught up with worldly treasures or matters; let the world operate as it wants. Stay close to the ways of God and be protected. The price here is to give back the world what belongs to it without coveting; may be difficult for those chasing after wealth and status.
The greatest commandment is to 'Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. And love your neighbor as yourself.' And GIVE UNTO GOD all that you have; even if it is your whole living. To me, this is a revelation on First Fruits.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
