Who do You Serve?

Verses:  Matthew 6:24

My thoughts about the verses:

This is a very simple question.  We have to remember that we can only serve God or the things of this world.  If we choose to serve the world our life will be full of unhappiness and a lack of peace.  When we serve God we feel love, peace and happiness.

See you have to choose who you want to follow in this world.  You cannot choose to serve God and the things of this world.  They are the opposite of each other.  If you choose to serve God you will not want to do things that are against the Spirit that lives within us.  If you choose to serve the world you are turning away from God.

See you cannot in any situation choose to serve two things at once.  When you do this you are living in a constant state of unhappiness.  One day you will lean toward one way of life.  The next day you may lean toward the other way of life.  No matter what you will never be totally happy because your life will be in chaos.

We have the choice to serve God or the world.  We can desire to do things that reward our Spirit.  We can also choose to collect the things of this world.  In the first situation it isn’t about what you own instead it is about a feeling deep inside of you.  In the second situation it is always about gaining more and more things. 

We have to remember that Jesus wants us to lean on him and build our wealth on serving God.  Yet, if we do not listen to God our life is in disarray.  We are constantly fighting our Spirit.  Those that have chosen God have to realize that if you are working against God your spirit will constantly ache deep inside.

Now we also have to realize that since God created all of us there is a spirit within us.  Yet, if you have not accepted God you do not have the guidance of God in your life.  Those that have accepted God have the power of God guiding them and leading them in the way of light.

The choice is yours you cannot live with your spirit divided.  You cannot serve the world and God at the time.  God is ready to accept you into the fold.  Yet, the choice is yours. 

Prayer:

O Holy God we praise your name.  We bow down to you and ask for your guidance.  We worship you for you are the giver of life.  Help us to choose to have you as the master of our life.  Help us not fall into the desires of the world.  In the name of the Giver of life we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Who do you serve?  Do you spend your time serving God?  Do you spend your time serving the World? Are you willing to spend your whole life serving God? The choice is yours are you ready to make than choice today?
