“No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Luke 16:13 (ESV)
We were made to serve, not to be served, and we will serve someone or something. Satan knows we are wired to serve, and he tries to distort our purpose by having us serve things that should not be served.
Many today serve money. Many chase comfort, fame, and independence. In essence, they serve themselves, as they work towards things and ways to gratify their flesh.
When we serve God alone, we fear no circumstance, embrace all opportunities, and seek God's purpose for us every moment of each day. When we serve a false god, we are anxious about circumstances, miss opportunities, and see no sense in what God is doing in our lives.
We were made to have one master, and life only works well in its designed context.
