Serving two masters??????

Good morning everyone! Had a great day at the beach yesterday. The water was really clear and we found some sand dollars for the girls. Went to a really cool place to eat last night at the Sandestin Resort called Hammerheads. They had live music and the kids all got up and danced their hearts out. Really fun place for all. We are going to the Twisted Palm tonight for my birthday....All you can eat crab legs!!!! Yummy! Today I want to talk to you about serving two masters. Let's dig into some of the good stuff and see want it says about this subject.....

Bible Verse: 2 Kings 5:20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

Now check this out Gehazi saw a way to get rich quick by trying to get the money that Naaman offered Elisha but, Elisha refused. But, guess what his great plan had some pitfalls. First, He took some money that was offered to someone else. Second, he kind of implied that the money could be exchanged for the free gift's that God gives. And third, he lied to hide the real reason he took this money.

I want you to know that Gehazi had been a good and faithful servant. But, he let personal gain become his god and it became more important than God. I am not saying that cash is bad or having money is evil. What I am saying is greed and lies are bad!!!! No good will come from them. No matter what people say. Money does not buy happiness.

Are you serving God? Are you serving with true motives? Are you motivated by money? Are you serving because you want God's favor? We should be serving out of love and devotion to God. We should be serving because God asks us to! As it also says in Matthew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters..." We can't serve God and money. Let's examine ourselves this week. ave a great day I love you, and God bless.
