After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”
“Yes, he does,” he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak.
“What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”
“From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him.
“But so that we may not cause offense, 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 17:24-27)

Not a whole lot at the moment. I feel tired and drained.
Prayers of livelihood from Father to you, while in the midst of:
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In theworld ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcometheworld.

Remembering this to not ever look back on belief, stand firm in belief even if falter saying thank you we are forgiven by Son at the cross, now teach me your view Father to set me free from me and me trying to be you, and just participate in you and you then through me, thank you, for I, know you are Faithful to carry on this good work you started in me.
I do not know how, yet I am believing you can and will show me how to walk by Faith as Son Christ did

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Faith is belief, and that is what conquers in what is conquered already

1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Also, medically, you could be dehydrated, possibly, I remember recently I felt this, and got fluids from the Hospital put in me and it turned out i had a virus and 3 days later broke the fever that was in me, and so far so good since staying drinking lots of fluids.
Praying for you from Father to see through what to do

Isaiah 40:31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Old Christian pilgrims, physically weak, can be made spiritually strong in certain hope! :)

Mark 8

[SUP]22 [/SUP]And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. [SUP]23 [/SUP]And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. [SUP]24 [/SUP]And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. [SUP]25 [/SUP]After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

THE THIRD MIRACLE USING FISH AND BREAD:

John 21:3) Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 .) But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 .) Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 .) And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 .) Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 .) And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 .) As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 .) Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 .) Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 .) Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 .) Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

2 Peter 1:4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Morrow, learn to not look back, and not be corrupted again, stand fast in the Faith (trust) that God will teach you truth over any and all errors

That just made me think of Saul who became Paul, was taught first, kept it all in until the time to come forth with the whole truth, was not in out and about preaching to the people until he was taught all needed to know, and i think that was 14 years of silence about?

I do not like the part where the unbeliever goes to destruction and I do know that is why God has not called in Judgment yet. having the desire that all come to believe God
What Mercy, you all, if have not repented, Changed your mind, maybe today is the day to beleive God all the way, no more doubts. No more does he just love me and died for me, I am not sure, read the word, put in keys words in BibleGateway.com: A searchable online Bible in over 100 versions and 50 languages. and see scriptures like when you put in forgiven, redeemed, propitiation, advocate, beleive and belief, and let God do the walking through you to show you truth that sets you free from bondage
Prayed and I know God will come through on this

i'm 75 years old and in shenzhen china. i have a chinese family that includes a chinese grand daughter (who adopted me 8 years ago) who is now talking about moving to shenzhen when she gets her masters degree. i have stage IV prostate cancer and she wants to be with me. i live with a chinese family that has become my own. i guess my favorite verse, after a rather irregular (to say the least) life, is that all things surely work for good ...... just take his hand.
