Who will you serve?

Sunshine’s Reflections

Good afternoon!  Happy Wednesday to you all!  Remember to always make time for Christ and plan a devotional period throughout your day.  I’m so grateful for the support that everyone provides me, this blog, and my book.  Thank you all for taking a chance on a little nobody that is now somebody because of Christ.

TFTD: Who will you serve?

Luke 16:13 (NKJV)

¹³ “No servant 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.”

We live in a day in age were everyone serves someone.  Whether we admit it or not, we serve someone and even things.  The problem comes when we begin serving the wrong people and things.  We are career driven and begin chasing money and in turn we start serving money.  We are hungry for material things and we begin serving items such as cars, jewelry, shoes, clothes, etc.  We are attention seeking and we begin serving people for attention, but it’s the wrong type of attention.  We want what we want and when we want it, so instead of serving the ONE that can provide us with quality things we begin serving people and items making them our mini gods.  Yes, I said it, mini gods.

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) says, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  When you serve God He will supply all of your needs.  It may not be all that you want, but He will make sure you are taken care of.  You think you know what is right for you, but God knows what is best  for you and what will destroy you.  When you serve God, He will orchestrate everything else in your life.  He will give you the career you desire, the income, the material possessions, the spouse you desire and so much more if you would serve Him. 

God is a jealous God and you should never put anything or anyone before Him.  Some people serve their children more than they serve God.  Yes, you have made your kids a mini god.  Some people serve their pastors more than they serve God.  Yes, I said it you have made your pastor your mini god.  Some people have made themselves mini gods.  If the shoe fits wear it and if you don’t like what your lifestyle and habits say about you then change them. 

Exodus 20:3 (NKJV) says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” You have to choose who you will serve.  WHO WILL YOU SERVE? 

Is God a priority in your life?  Is He the head of your life or the bottom of your desires?  WHO WILL YOU SERVE?  Take time to think about who you serve and see if it’s time to make a change.  As for me and my house we will serve the LORD!

Have a blessed day!
