Two Masters?

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).  Matthew 6:24 Amplified 

Two masters. Two people telling you what to do. Has that ever happened to you before? Two bosses, two parents, or two teachers…each wanting you to do something different. I imagine that it is just like Jesus said…you would be devoted to one and despise the other. If one of the masters is God…and the other is money then what a predicament. We know that God is the provider…but money…buys—everything. Yet money can’t buy eternal life…or contentment, peace, joy or love. Money doesn’t provide grace or security. No love comes with the love of money. Food only fills the stomach momentarily…and only the love of God can nourish the soil.  Love God…love money. Which will it be? 

RSVP: Jesus is inviting you today to love God…not money. How will you respond to Him today?

Prayer ~ Jesus, lead me, show me how to totally trust You to provide for me, for my family, friends, and neighbors in a way that we serve only God, and not money. Our society today is so dependent on money—but we need to serve God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
