Laws, leaders, rules, and regulations.

"Jesus said to them, Pay to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's..." Mark 12:17 AMP

No matter how much you are against paying taxes, following the orders, rules, and regulations of those in charge, they are the laws made by the leaders of this land.  You are not above the law, nor are you in charge of the leaders.  So, let me ask, if you aren't respecting the laws of land, then how in the world are you respecting God?  You probably aren't.  As a matter of fact, there is a good chance you are selfish, full of ungodly pride, and you feel like you are owed more than the next.  OK, maybe you are owed, but that needs to be put in God's hands - He will see to your payback.  Until then, you are not exempt, you never will be, and no matter how your excuses, words, and actions line up in your favor, in the end, the law still wins.  

My friend, your ungodly pride is only dragging you into a deep pit; let it go, give it to God, and let His amazing glory and blessings come and fill you from within.  And, remember, you will be paid back, BUT the payback will come from God, not from your works, words or actions, unless, of course, He calls you to take a stand.  Therefore, stop waste your time trying, and move on and enjoy all the days of your precious life.

On guard for God

"... Don't let down your guard lest even now, today, someone - man or woman, clan or tribe - gets sidetracked from God, our God, and gets involved with the no-gods of the nations; lest some poisonous weed sprout and spread among you, a person who hears the words of the Covenent-oath but exempts himself, thinking, "I'll live just the way I please, thank you," and ends up ruining life for everybody.  God won't let him off the hook..." Deuteronomy 29: 14-21, The MSG

One wrong move, one wrong motive, one wrong word, or one wrong thought could be the beginning of the end of the great life God has planned for you.  So, stay the course - make life easy for yourself - and let the goodness that God has planned for you overflow, and overfill, your precious life.
