Only One #1
"No person can serve two masters at the same time. He will
hate one master and love the other master. Or he will follow
one master and refuse to follow the other master. So you
cannot serve God and Money at the same time."
-- Matthew 6:24 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Who will I let rule my life? With whom will my ultimate allegiance lie?
When an ultimate choice has to be made, on what basis will it be made?
What am I pursuing most passionately with my use of time, talents, and
treasure? There is only one correct answer according to Jesus; that one
true answer is our Father in heaven. Giving our devotion to anything
else, or to anyone else, means that what we pursue on earth is destined
for decay, death, or destruction. In the strongest terms possible,
Jesus reminds us that money can't be our god if we want to serve the
Lord God Almighty. It's either our Father in heaven, or not. All our
energies should be channeled to honor him, or not.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy and Almighty God, I come before you in humility, acknowledging
your greatness and majesty. I want to live with you, and your Kingdom,
as my number one priority. Help awaken me to the things that I may
place in my heart that rival you as God. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
