What can i render unto the lord

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. To be able to sit down and enjoy your meals. How many really thank Him? How many realize the blessing it is to have teeth to eat with?

Get a bad tooth on each side of your mouth, and see if you do not realize then what it means to have good teeth. You open the window in the morning, and breathe the fresh air. Very few think of it as coming from God. How many count it a blessing? The beautiful sunlight is given to us by God.

We are given wonderful blessings, wonderful things. Everything good we have comes from God. Man thanks the devil for those things, but God gave it to him. The devil never put enough fresh water here to wash your face. He never gave enough clothes to cover an infant. Every piece of clothing that is on the children of Hell tonight, was given to them by God.

Every bit of air that keeps them alive to blaspheme His name, was sent by God. Why does God treat the ungodly so well? Take two farmers in the country. One loves God and the other does not. The sun shines on both, the wheat looks about the same when it comes up, and that is what many people cannot understand.

There were ten lepers who came to Jesus, and He healed them. They went away. One turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, but the other nine kept on going and did not return to give thanks. If God would get the glory for what He does, His praises would be ringing up and down every street in Baltimore City, on every farm they would be resounding, every city in the world would be ringing out the praises of God for the blessings He gives the children of men. But, people cannot understand why He treats the unjust so well.

Why is it? He loves them. God loves men and women so much that the ungodly man finds rain on his crops too. His children are well. There is money to pay the bills. But, what does he do with those blessings? Because God blesses him, he often takes it for evidence that there is no God. I am as well off as the fellow next door. You might have as much money as the man next door, your children might go to the same school, but there is something in the heart you know nothing about.

If God has given bread and meat, air and sunshine, water and life, and all the wonderful things, it is but to lead us to pray so He can give us something more wonderful. When God begins to reveal to your heart that His Son died for you, and convicts you of sin, God wants to really bless you. Many of us have struggled with the same question.

It is good for us to reflect on how wonderfully blessed we are. The psalmist reminds us that God is the source of blessings. So many in our world fail to recognize where our many benefits originate. The Lord is the giver of every good gift. What can keep us from such a negative mindset? We need to spend more time thinking about how blessed we are.

From our food Acts to our salvation Acts and Titus , God has blessed us with innumerable blessings. Could we ever find a way to repay God? The Lord is He that hath created us Genesis and Psalms How do you repay that? The Lord is the creator of the entire universe Genesis , Psalms , and Isaiah The Lord has kept us alive through providing for our physical needs Psalms , Jeremiah , and Matthew The Lord has put up with stupidity from the beginning of the world Genesis 3 - your life and mine.

God has been merciful and longsuffering with all of humanity Psalms and II Peter We all know that the answer to every question above, and many more that could be posed, is that we cannot repay God for His acts toward us. His love, mercy, just judgment, etc. His blessings to us are far more than we could ever number.
