Who You Serve
Who do you serve? How do you know who you are serving?
We serve who and what we love.
When we love something or someone, we spend our time, attention, and resources pursuing that thing or that person.
In Luke’s gospel Jesus taught, “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Luke 16:13, ESV).
Our devotion illustrates who or what is mastering us. We cannot fully serve God and lesser loves.
Our love of God and our service to him deserves our full and undivided attention.
May we serve God alone as we devote ourselves to him in our time, attention, and resources.
A Prayer for Commerce and Industry: “O Lord Jesus Christ, in your earthly life you shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Guide those who maintain the commerce and industries of this land, and give to all who labor pride in their work, a just reward, and joy both in supplying need and in serving you; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, world without end. Amen.” (#46., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
