“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:24-34 NIV)
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:34 NIV)
Dear Lord,
Thank You for letting me meet Pastor Joey. His insights are very valuable. He said we live in a values-based world, and the only way to win people over is to create things of higher value.
Lord, I want to be righteous in Your eyes. How do I seek first Your kingdom? Yes, You mentioned, no sexual immorality, no hint of impurity. You said to rejoice, to be the light of the world. My finances, pleasure, excellence, my relationships, my health, and my relationship with You all have to be in order. This is how to create higher value. Oh, Lord, You are my God, and the One seeking my heart that I didn't even see. I give my heart to You. I will do service for You. I will not make those books and I will not go back to that world. I will turn down the animation project. I will rejoice despite my company closing. I will get my finances in order somehow. I will go on a quest to find what pleases me. I will make sure all I do is excellent. I will start exercising. And Lord, I will do all these because I love You.
Fill me and cover me with Your unfailing Love. Lead me. Be with me. And make me the person You wish me to be.
Lord, Martin seems really serious about me. Please don't let me break his heart. If You allow this, Lord, then let it proceed. Otherwise, save me from another heartbreak, please.
All this I pray, everything I lift to You. This I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.
