Saturday Feb 20, 2021 “Taxes and donations”
2 Kings 12:4 “And Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the dedicated gifts that are brought into the house of the Lord—each man’s census money, each man’s assessment money—and all the money that a man purposes in his heart to bring into the house of the Lord,”
What is included in this financial report by Jehoash is “taxes” and other finances gathered for both the nation and religious purposes. Focus your prayers today on the financial burden of taxes upon our nation and businesses. The government should not put undo pressure on our citizens. As God’s people supported the religious foundation in Jehoash’s day and so doing it benefited the entire nation. May there be an understanding when considering tax laws and charitable donations that much burden is taken from the “state by the good works of Christian believers.
