GOD OR GOLD? 1
Text: Matthew 6:33
By: Adeaga O. Favour
Everyone wants the best. No one will see what is good and go for the bad. Even God designed us for the best and He’s also got good thoughts for us (Jere 29:11), and there’s also provision for the actualisation of our expectations from His agenda (Pro 23:18).
But then, what is your expectation tilted towards? We are not designed to be slaves to material, perishable things and also, God did not create us because of what we will get from Him but what we will do for Him; He created us to worship and show forth His praise (Isa 4:21).
What is your priority, God or gold? Jesus warned in Matt 6:24 that “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” When your attention is divided, your service to God becomes affected.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
God didn’t create you because of what you will get from Him but what you will do for Him.
PRAY:
Father, whatever is taking my attention from You, I give them up in Jesus’ name.
