Meditate.
No one
can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or
he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and
mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is
valued more than the Lord]. 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…it 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 yet only the love of God can
nourish the soul. Love God…love money. Which will it be?

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.
Verses of Salvation ~ For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away." But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved. Hebrews 10:37-39
