Money Troubles

I was reading in Matthew when a particular story stood out to me. In Matthew 17:24-27 Jesus and his deisciples were in Capernaum and the tax collectors came up to Peter and asked if Jesus every pays his taxes. When Peter went to Jesus and told him about the situation Jesus just laughed and mocked the whole taxation policy. But he said so that they don't take offense lets just pay them...(taking the time to teach a lesson to them and Peter in the same moment)....he sent Peter to fish in the sea and to take the FIRST fish he caught and open it's mouth and there would be the money for the tax. Funny how the Father just "took care" of business so that he could get back to what was important. We don't see Him getting all frustrated that there wont be enough money or that he has stop to pay this tax. He just does. How many times do we get worried about how to pay for that...or what this will cost? OH too often...we get wrapped up in the logistics of life instead of the PURPOSE of Life...Make it a point in the new year to look at the entire prospect instead of the logistics of it all. If we will take time to really serve our Father the way we were intended to...i am positive there would not be a need for Revivals. It would be an everyday lifestyle that shows others the JOY of the Lord.
