Hollywood Prayer Network On Serving預覽

NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS                  

"If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing." Florence Nightingale 

PRAY:  Oh Lord, I don't want to serve anyone but You. You tell me it's impossible to serve two masters so I ask that you keep my eyes and heart only on You. I want to be devoted to You and stay away from evil, from the love of money or from any other temptations that will take me away from my love and devotion to You. I know that I can't serve two masters, so I need Your help to let me serve You only. Thank you, Lord!

REFLECT:  We often think that we're only serving and following the Lord, but other idols or "masters" can slip in and take away our sincere service and faithfulness to our God. Who or what do you think you might be serving now, above God? Could it be money? Your job? The love of your life? God is so strong that He says we have to hate any other master other than God and despise anything that comes in the way of Him. For it is evil to serve anyone but God. Who do you choose to serve? And how do you make sure you're not serving two masters?

ACT:   Today is the day to draw your line in the sand. Choose, this day, whom you will serve. God has given us the freedom to choose who and what we want to serve, but if there is any chance that you might be serving money, or another person, or fame, or honor, or position, or anything else over God, then today is the day to repent. Ask Him to purify your heart and to faithfully, fully, serve only Him from this day forward. Put up a proclamation in your home "For me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
