... 27 However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.” 

… Not wanting to have the taxes due to Temple be a stumbling block before the Religious Leaders, Jesus shows Peter that God will provide their needs.

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Monica La Rose …  USE THIS LINK      … related the true story of a 15 year old boy, named Keegan, in Australia in 2024 who pulled in a fish during an annual fishing contest which had a tag attached to the fish in 2015, giving the one who happened to catch that fish in the annual event a million dollars.   

That fantastic story reminded the ODB author of how Jesus told Peter to catch a fish which had a silver coin in it’s mouth (see photo) worth enough to pay the Temple taxes for both Peter and Jesus, … yet another miracle showing that God provides the needs of those whom He watches over.  And taking in the linked song and the Scriptures above, … I believe it … every day.   How about you?   

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for providing my needs each day.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for being our Provider.    … Amen
