WHO IS IN FIRST PLACE?

 

 

Matthew 6:24

"No one 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." ESV

The center of our beings has been created to hold only one God. There is just one place for the number one within our hearts. Being human, we find ourselves involved in conflict between the number one place in our hearts. The second place always has less status and will lose to number one every time. The serious fact is, we choose who is first in that one and only spot. It is either God, who belongs there, or it is ourselves and our selfish gain.

Heavenly Father, we fail so many times to the age old struggle of the old self trying to take over first place. Forgive us for those times we allow that to happen. Help us to stay in the Word, increasing our faith and spiritual strength to overpower the old self. Be first in our hearts, we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

WHO IS NUMBER ONE?

There is room for only one in the number one place within our hearts. It
is evident which is number one in our hearts when the second place is in
conflict with the number one. The second place has less status and will
lose out every time. We choose who is first in that one and only spot. It
is either God or self gain.

Read Matthew 6:24

"No one can serve two masters. 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 both God and Money." (NIV)

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." (KJV)
