Who is your Master

24 "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. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24


I was talking to a colleague a few weeks ago and was very impressed by the story that he had to tell. Prior to coming to work for us at the end of last year, he was unemployed for several months just as many people across the nation are today. What happened to this young man however, during this time of crisis and uncertainty in his life is a lesson to be learned by all who may be sitting on the fence in their spiritual journey of knowing and loving God. You see, God used this time in his life to re-focus his priorities on the things that really matter in this life. God taught him through what seemed to be detrimental circumstances at the time how money was not the most important thing in this world. My colleague learned and experienced in the past months how fulfilling an authentic relationship with God can be as well as how marriage and family intertwined with his relationship with Jesus Christ can supply many more blessings than the almighty dollar could have ever hoped to provide. Our heavenly Father can take what seem to be the worst of circumstances and turn them into a time of healing and restoration that you will have never seen coming. Refocus your priorities today on eternal things of the heart that will last and you will find a Master worth serving and a Father worth loving as no one can ever take away your relationship with God as He promises no matter what you are facing today to hold you in His arms of love and to never let you go!
