Will you serve Him beloved?

So this won't be to long because I have to get ready for my math test at one soon. But in my devotion this morning, it had the verse Matthew6:24 & it was talking about how you can't serve two things whole heartily. Like you can't be a vegetarian & a great hunter. It just doesn't work that way. The same is true with God & the world. The Bible says, "No one can serve two masters, either he will hate the one or love the other or he will be devoted to the one & despise the other. You cannot serve both God & money." Now growing up, whenever I read that verse, I was like, "Well I honestly don't care that much for money, so I'm good! Next!" But thats not what this verse is saying. Money is a symbol of a worldly desire. Its the worldly desires that can control us & steal away our attention from God.

I know I need to reevaluate my priorities in order to fully serve God. As a start, I'm not going to get on facebook until I have time with the Lord each day. The book mention if people saw what you did in your free time, would they see God in that? Now I know facebook isn't the most awful thing in the world but I do get on it alot before I spend time with God. & that needs to change.

I encourage you to reevaluate your priorities & see what God wants you to change in your life in order for Him to become the desire of your heart. He gave up His beloved son for us, so don't we need to give up our life for Him?

This really is a lot to think about. That's part of the reason I'm giving up texting this week, because I realize that it's more a a priority than anything else. Just like facebook or my blog can be. But I think I might just do what this says, and have my time with God before I do anything else. Hey, I might even start getting up really early before I even get up for school.

Thats what I do. I get up earlier than I have to, to do my devotion before my math class.

Yup. That's what I did this morning. I'm reading Hosea :)

Great thought! I find I get so much more done when I talk with Jesus first.
