You cannot serve two masters. If Jesus is truly your master, you will desire to please Him above all others. If pleasing people is your goal, you will be enslaved to them. People can be harsh task masters when you give them this power over you. If Jesus is the master of your life, He will also be your first love. Your serving Him is rooted and grounded in His vast, unconditional love for you. The more you bow down before Him, the higher the higher He lift you up into intimate relationship with Him. The joy of living in His Presence outshines all other pleasures. He wants you to reflect His joyous light by living in increasing intimacy with Him. ---- Matthew 6 : 24 ; ------- Revelation 2 : 4 ; --------- Ephesians 3 : 10 ; ------- Psalm 16 : 11

I completely agreed with this. Unfortunately, it seems that there are more and more people serving man rather than God nowadays. Which I find concerning.

Yes, we live in a culture of the Self. Me- Me-Me. It's difficult to hear the call of God when we are so focused, obsessed even, with the Material life.

Yes, exactly as you say. We have become so obssesed with material things that God had becomes secondary in our life. This is wrong. God should always be first in our life.

This is exactly what I have learned in my 6 years of walking with the Lord @thomasbrown. That's I could just kneel down on my knees every time i remember how the Lord freed me from that struggle. Thanks for that refreshment @thomasbrown. Be bless. Shalom

I totally agree with you, we have to make our choice between a God that is faithful and man. God loves us more than we could ever imagine.

Most people are obsessed with paying their bills and taxes on time, they forget that there even is a God!
