"Whom Do You Serve?" (Part 3)

Once I began to accept God as being my Source, the sense of freedom was wonderful. This was the beginning of a new walk in Christ.

Today, I pray this same freedom for you. You can stop trying to "run your own life" too. Realize that Jesus is pointing the way out for us. Accept Him and experience your release from every burden you may have. He knows what to do and how to do it. Leave it to Him.

Prayer: That you will be uplifted today in your spirit and that God will overwhelm you with His Presence.

Be Blessed, my friend

"Whom Do You Serve?" (Part 2)

Christ is saying that He is the answer for you. Your life may be turned "upside down". Everything that once worked does not seem to work anymore. The things you've depended on has fail. This could be another person, a job, debt or even a friend. Whatever it is, take a moment to consider if what you have depended so heavily on has really been a "god" in you life. This is the perfect time to reflect on exactly where you are in relationship with God. What has His role been in your dependency? How much focus have you given to Him being your Source?

You see, I've been at these crossroads, as well. I, too, had to realize that no matter how hard I worked or how hard I tried to please others, it never worked out. I was so dissatisfied and unfulfilled in my life. I tried getting these things from my job, friends, etc. This verse stood out to me. So I had to acknowledge that I had been on the wrong track going endlessly to more frustration and unfulfillment. I was depending on the wrong things. I had to "wake up".

"Whom Do You Serve?"

Matt 6:24 (KJV)
"No man can serve two masters" for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon."

Modern Christianity sometimes fail to address what the Bible says about serving other gods. In the Old Testament, it clearly addresses the serving of other gods. Whenever it would occur among the people, Go would send His Prophet to cleanse them with His Word. It would always be "that He would have no other gods before Him." - Ex. 20:3. Over and over the Bible teaches that their is only one God.

Down through the ages to the the 21st Century, we seem to have the same problems as the people in the Bible days. Jesus come on the scene at the "Sermon on the Mount" message declaring, "no man can serve two masters."

Have you thought about this in reference to your life? Are you at a place where your life seems "out of sorts"? Could this Word be answering a question for you?
