No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Jesus. Matthew 6:24. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 15 of 30 Days on the Mount of Blessing, PT 2.
Can’t have it both ways. God and money can’t both be the final determining factor in the decisions we make. Only one gets that coveted spot. Only one will get to have the last word. Thinking of decisions, what determines your next action? When it’s really on the line—and a single factor stands between you and a significant outcome, what tips the scales? Is it money? Maybe it’s attention? Convenience? God? What is it that ultimately calls the shots? Jesus’ focus in this passage is money. Somehow, money has a way of distracting and confusing us—it’s a kind of fluid, malleable, intoxicating power. What is your relationship, my relationship, with it? What power do we allow it to have?
