Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

The Bible lets us know that no one can serve two masters. We cannot serve God and money. This scripture implies that money is a type of master that attempts to take our heart, mind, and soul away from God.

This shines the light on why so many people are willing commit murder, prostitute themselves, or do unlawful things just to have money. This sheds insight to why money issues can destroy relationships and marriages. This also could be the reason why so many Christians have a hard time giving to God. In one ear the Spirit of God is telling us to graciously give to a loving God. In the other ear, our flesh (who may be controlled by money) is letting us know to hold on to that money because we have needs or desires that must be met.

Take time out to evaluate your life. See if money impacts your life, your earthly relationships, and your relationship with God in a negative way.

Let God be your Master.
