Today’s Thought “Pockets Filled, But an Empty Heart” G. Ward

Luke 16:13

“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.”

 

Whereas those serving as treasurers and other officers in the local church are generally those deemed financially successful, oversight of some devoted to our Lord is most imperative. The religious leaders in the day of Jesus would offer a similitude of God and wealth, as if to say wealth is favor from the Holy One; this would certainly cancel our Lord in earth, along with those 12 disciples HE’D choose in portraying HIS gospel; they weren’t rich by any stretch of the imagination.

It is written to thwart ideas of blessings contingent on perception of things and whereby we should exist in the substance of the Invisible (*Col.1:15), many times we’re more impressed with shiny things and people. Whether rich or poor, there’s a denominator in understanding that all need our Lord Jesus.
