"Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four_drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours." - Matthew 17:27 (NIV)


Jesus paid the taxes of him and Peter with a coin in a fish’s mouth.  

How many of us actually expect God to do this for us?  

When we ask Him to meet our financial needs, we expect someone to come to the door with a check for us.  Maybe we expect money to come in the mail.  We expect God to meet our need in a natural way.

According to the Bible, though, Jesus didn’t do things naturally.  No, He took water and turned it into wine.  He took mud and put on a blind man’s eyes.  He walked on the water.  

If Jesus didn’t do things naturally in the Bible, what makes us think He will always do things naturally now?

Expect God to do the unexpected in your life today!

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?  Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin?  That He was raised from the dead?  Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour."  If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again.  Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
