Serve God Only
No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. Luke 16:13
Jesus says in Luke 16:13 – ‘No servant can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money.’ The object of our service, our affection, where our heart really lies, cannot be divided. Jesus uses the example of money, but it can be extended to other things too.
The spirit that feeds you leads you, or as Jesus says in Matthew 6:21, ‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.’ Whatever is foremost in your life, the thing you treasure, this will attract your heart like a magnet. It is not wrong to have many plans and many requests, but we can only have one desire in our hearts. Let it be the Lord.
Prayer for today: Please Lord, make my heart serve you only. Lord I give you my heart, I live for You alone. Give me grace to make You the desire of my heart. Be my treasure Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
