Choose Your Master

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 6:19-24
Focus Verse: Matthew 6:24  “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.”

Joshua’s message to the Israelites was that they had to choose who they would serve.  Then he said, “as for me and my house, we will sere the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)  You must choose the master of your life.  Many people serve themselves and are their own master.  When you are serving yourself, you are not serving the Lord.  Also, when you serve the Lord, you are not serving yourself.  God, your Creator, wants to have the number one spot in your life.  God gave you the freedom to choose who will be the master.  Although the world will tell you otherwise, if you choose anything other than God, your life will become a mess.  Satan decided that he wanted to be his own master and that he would be greater than God.  We know that can't be true and he will end up in Hell forever.  We can not deceive ourselves to think that we can be a better master than our Creator God.  God will always do a better job at running your life than you will.  So give Him full control of your life today and walk in obedience to Him.
