Can’t Serve Both

Scripture:

10 If you’re faithful in small-scale matters, you’ll be faithful with far bigger responsibilities. If you’re crooked in small responsibilities, you’ll be no different in bigger things. 11 If you can’t even handle a small thing like money, who’s going to entrust you with spiritual riches that really matter? 12 If you don’t manage well someone else’s assets that are entrusted to you, who’s going to give over to you important spiritual and personal relationships to manage? 13 Imagine you’re a servant and you have two masters giving you orders. What are you going to do when they have conflicting demands? You can’t serve both, so you’ll either hate the first and love the second, or you’ll faithfully serve the first and despise the second. One master is God and the other is money. You can’t serve them both. (Luke 16:10-13 The Voice) I believe that Jesus is talking what occupies our heart, our motivation, our thinking. I don’t believe that He does not what us to work for our support for ourselves and our families. If money becomes the center of our life, it will be hard to have the heart or time to do important things like family, serving others, or just being content. This can be a lesson to learn more than once. Thank You that You are faithful to remind me what it is all about; who I serve. I do love You and Your ways. AMEN Father, Your goodness is so great! Thank You that You have stored up blessings for those who honor You and come to You for protection. Psalm 31
