Scripture: Matthew 6:24
Journal: Who or what are you serving right now?
What does your life say about who or what you are serving right now?
Reflection:
Divided loyalties are never a good thing. The problem is that eventually, if not
regularly, they will come into conflict with each other. And then what? Who decides which one takes precedence? The servant?
That sounds kind of backwards.
Jesus made it very clear
that you can really only give your full allegiance to one master. Only one thing can totally capture
your heart. Only one thing can
completely dominate your time and your energy.
You can either serve darkness or you can serve light, but you can’t
serve both. You can either serve God or
you can serve money, but you can’t serve both.
Because eventually the two will come into conflict with each other, and
when they do one of them will win out We
must not kid ourselves, whatever the thing or the person is that dominates our
time and our energy, that is the thing or the person we are truly serving. What is it for you?
Prayer
Closing
Prayer: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the
earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know
that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are
his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and
his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is
good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all
generations. (Psalm 100:1-5)
