Who Am I Serving?

Scripture Luke 16:13 “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.”

Observation: Before I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior all I ever did was serve money. My existence was made up of what I had and how successful I thought I was. I would work all kinds of hours and spend money as fast as I made it. I was always looking for that purchase that would bring me happiness, but never found it. When serving God became my top priority, even though I fall from time to time, I found something better than happiness He gave me joy.

Application: Things are different now and it’s a long process from weaning away from the things of this world and seek God only. With God as my focus the things in this world become less and less appealing and He becomes my main desire. I hope as I continue on this path that glorifying Him will be my only concern.

Prayer Dear Lord You are my joy and I want to please You with the time You have given me. Guide me today to do what You desire of me and that I will not have any distractions from accomplishing the goal You have set before me.
