"No man can serve two masters." (Matthew 6:24) I’m sure you've heard that scripture often enough. Perhaps so often, it has become one of those truths that has lost a lot of its ability to start you in the right direction.
In short, divided loyalty doesn't produce stabilized
sanity. You see, if an individual sings,
"What a friend we have in Jesus" and his or her best friend is a bank
account, or political or corporate or family power, or some particular sin
addicted to, then this is more than trying to serve two masters, this is
putting one's faith second or third in line.
And that spells Trouble with a capital T. The kind of Trouble that
can only come from turning to a shaky faith when we are in deed in trouble.
So let's get our priorities straight: money is for our wallet; power is for our
ego, the Holy Spirit is for our soul. Get that proportion and destination mixed
up and you are in for a lot of inner conflict.
Anxiety out of proportion makes us become like a centipede trying to
put his best foot forward.
Consider
the first commandment God gave to Moses: "You shall have no other gods
before Me" (Exodus 20:3, Deut. 5:7).
In other words, we should trust God alone. And certainly not fall victim to claiming we
are the Master of our fate or the Captain of our Soul.
Let me paint a mental picture for you of the kind of fidelity I
am really talking about; a mental picture that hopefully will make you really
stop and think.
The fidelity you feel toward your Lord, does it equal that of a dog
toward his Master? That's right.
Unwavering. Steady as a
rock. Unbounded enthusiasm and
faith. An ongoing commitment to a
fidelity of head and heart.
Indeed, imagine your life being one so dedicated to God that
when you die there is engraved on your gravestone:
Here lies a Christian who
never wavered in his faithfulness to God
A realization that one may stumble and even fall, but this
only for a brief moment as one rises to continue on.
The
Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-6,
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
There is the beginning, the
bedrock basis, of being better able to handle your anxieties. Lean on the Lord as you work and pray toward
not walking crooked paths.
