Chose wisely.

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

I have to admit, sometimes the ways of the world look enticing. All there rewards wrapped in beautiful packages, the gate keeper welcoming all who into. Shoot even the gate in the beginning, looks beautiful. While a lot of us see the gate that leads on the road to Jesus. It's dull, some would even go so far as saying that it's boring. Little do they know, the wide gate leads to emptiness, hopelessness. The narrow gate leads to life; everlasting life with Jesus.

So no matter how great the ways of the world, we must keep our eyes focused on Jesus. 

App: make sure my focus stays on Jesus, and I'm not distracted by the world.

2 Masters 1 Servant?

Mathew 6:24

No man can serve to 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.

At least once in our lives I'm sure most people can attest to the fact, if we sincerely think about it, have served two masters. While we claim to be servants of God only serving the Lord Jesus Christ, there is something taking hold of us in our lives. Whether its a daily task, daily hobby or even time. Let's think about it for a moment, what's more important in your life? Is it serving the Lord, or is it serving the your self? Have you become the master you serve.

Even the calling on your life can become the master. You know your in trouble when the task GOD has given you becomes more important then God Himself. We all should check our hearts, for we may not know we serve two masters. Like I've said, even doing a good thing can become your master. So some master's are subtle. Never lose heart and keep fighting.

App: do at least one thing out of my way to help someone else, keeping my eyes off myself.
