D e v o t i o n
Matthew 22:21

Do you enjoy paying taxes?  Of course not.  Do you pay them anyway?

Jesus was asked about paying taxes in Matthew chapter 22 and verse 21. He answered the question like this. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”  Obviously he said to pay the tax because it was owed to the emperor.

He also said to give to God that which is His.  What claim does God have on your life?  What do you owe Him?  How could you pay Him?

I’ve chosen to give Him 100% of my life.  I’ve pledged my full devotion to Him.  You can do that too.  This is how we give to God what is God’s, by yielding our lives to His will and trusting Him with our hearts.

In today’s game, give to God that which is His.  Give Him a 100% effort in body, mind and soul.  I know He’ll be pleased with that and your friends and family will be thrilled to see you play at your very best.
