Mammon and God served not in druthers
Gospel of Matthew Ch 6 v- 24
24 “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Once you learn this, money becomes readily available for what God intends you to use it for; His glory! By using it for Him in all situations you can see where the worry will go because your worry from before comes from doing what you shouldn’t be doing until you give where God asks you to give eliminating the worry by serving the side of Truth. You will learn that charity for strangers doesn’t always have to be cash for God readies you to help others by your surplus when every locale is traveled by the plans you have whether they are the vacation your soul needs or the routine run to the grocery store we can and will find others in our paths that need some sort of hand up so to speak. I share with you many I encounter with my soul-mate-in-Christ, my wife Toni, in our journeys for Him in surrendering all things to living for Him First.
Toni noticed two homeless boys that I know they weren’t more than twenty years of age. One wrapped in a blanket still shivering in the midst of a morning fog and another shifting to get closer to make sure he received something as well. He seemed to be working the door and the other seemed embarrassed when I approached them but both willing to accept a Gatorade and some protein bars and peanut butter crackers. “Are you hungry,” I asked. “Here is some crackers and protein bars with a Gatorade. Come eat,” I said gesturing to the other boy with an unopened Gatorade. “You too, here have something to eat and drink. I will pray for you both as I ask you to pray for me and my wife’s journeys in Christ. Amen.” Nodding they both smiled as I backed up to drive away. I ended up sitting in the lot waiting for Toni to come and she asked if I had offered them the size eight and a half slip on boots we have. Making me turn towards them and pulling up again. “Either you and size eight and a half?” I said. One of them replied, “That’s mine exact.” He took the boots and we drove away. The beauty of sharing God is by looking out for those in your community who certainly need some sort of God’s handiwork instilled in our souls as I reflected on the smile he bore when handed the brand new Ariat boots. The kind of smile that reflects the beauty of Christ. Amen.
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others dealing with the war in Ukraine. In the Holy Spirit we pray our brothers in Kairos especially a prayer for our men in blue. We pray for our sister-in-law Carmen. She is the grandmother of Brittany who we speak healing prayers for daily who overcame brain cancer. We pray for Holy Mother Church. We pray for our Holy Mother in the name of Louie. Daily prayers for our neighbor Thelma. Prayers for a friend and his wife for a baby to be born. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Masters two serve not
Love one hate the other
Or other despise devoted to another
