Which Way To Go?

Life is filled with many things vying for our attention. Like many signposts standing up and waving their hands, these things try to get us to look or even travel in their direction. We get the option to choose what we will follow. This really gets at the heart of what takes up and makes up our lives. Jesus spoke about this.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters:

This is challenging for us to hear. For those with great possessions it can be even more challenging for if we regard these treasures, we run the risk of caring more for them than for our God. It is very easy for us to see our jobs, our houses, our bank accounts all as the source of our existence. If we let them be that to us, then we are serving them.

Let’s trust in and serve the living God today.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. Thank You for this day and Your kingdom. Let Your kingdom reign. Give us Your abundant provision today. Forgive us when we fail You. Heal us and deliver us. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
