(Luke 16:13 NKJV) “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Even though work may take a lot of our time during the days, we can’t let it rule us. We need to remain balanced. We need to take time for God, family, church, and rest!
Life is more than how much money we have, how big our home is, what kind of car we drive and how much we travel.
God made life to be simple, but yet exciting, fun and enjoyable! We can not serve money and serve Him. We have to pick and choose who and what we want to serve.
We can tell what we serve by watching and seeing how much time we give to it, physically or mentally. We are not talking about a normal day’s work, but all the thinking and working that goes into it after hours.
Are we always thinking about how much more we can make? Does it take up all of our time, thinking and planning? Are all of our thoughts constantly on the one thing, money?
Or do we spend time even when we are at work, acknowledging God and how He would have us handle certain situations, making sure that when we do something, people will see Him and know that we are Christians?
If we choose God, and put Him first, He takes care of the rest!
(Matthew 6:33 NKJV) “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
If we choose mammon, God’s word tells us how hard it is.
(Matthew 19:24 NKJV) “And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Who do we choose today? If we choose God, we need to give Him our time, money, efforts, thoughts and love!! Amen.
