Luke 3:13 “And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.”
As a result they would have to be content with the wages they received of the Romans for their work. This would represent quite a sacrifice for many of them as they profited quite a bit by increasing their take. However, this would cause them to have to once again trust he Lord for their compensation, rather than working it out themselves.
Heavenly Father, we know we can trust Your provision! When we need something You supply it in the way You deem best. We will trust You for Your means. That may require sacrifice, but it surely requires trust. Thank You for revealing Your care for us to us in Your Word! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
