Jesus said plainly in Matthew 6:24 that we cannot serve two masters; Numerologist Review  that we will hate the one and love the other, or we will hold to one and despise the other... Most of us know the remainder of that verse, where Jesus states that we cannot serve God and money. Many of us would pride ourselves, as Christians, at the ability to say that we do not serve money; thus we believe we are in the "safe" zone when it comes to this scripture. But I think that many of us miss what Jesus was actually saying here.

Before we can give ourselves a passing grade, I think we should examine what exactly it is the Lord was saying. The first question we should ask is, why can we not serve God and money. Because a man cannot serve two masters, you may say. But why can a man not serve two masters. Because you will love one and hate the other. The answer lies here: That to truly serve a master you must focus your efforts.

You must surrender your will to that master. You must love and hold to that master. You must come to a point that you are not satisfied with just getting by, or doing as little as possible- because it is not enough for you. To truly serve a master means that, no matter what you do, you still thirst for him. There is not enough you can do to quench that desire to please him. You serve him, and him alone. Anything else in your life that requires time away from master will bother you, irritate you, aggravate you.

You cannot serve two masters because, to put it bluntly, you will be obsessed with one, and hate the other.I find Christians- including myself- interesting sometimes. We say that God is our Master. We say that we love Him. We say that we follow Him. We even have songs that we sing about laying it all down to follow Him. Yet I wonder how many times in our life we actually serve Him. So often, we as Christians- and I must be honest and include myself- become obsessed with something, surrendering to it, serving it- and often times it is not the Master we profess to serve...We get so wrapped up in our schedule that we fail to take time out for even a small devotion. We say a hurried prayer in our car, perhaps a brief "blessing" over our.
