We cannot serve two masters. We just can't. Our masters can look very different depending on our lives. One master is God and our relationship with him. The other? It might be our family, wealth, social status, friends, work, hobbies, or food. It's something that sits on the cusp of dominating our lives.
We can't serve both masters equally; one has to be placed second. If we spend our time and energy on serving God, if we devote ourselves to him, we will reap a great eternal reward. But if we choose to serve anything other than him, if we devote ourselves to that other master-whatever it is-we will lose in the end.
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other" (Matthew 6:24, NIV).
What master are you serving with the way you live your life? Choose wisely today! Choose to serve the master that matters-the one who loves and cares about you.
