The start to a new day. I think it’s important that we “Stop and Smell the Roses”. That simply means that we need to slow down and take notice of what we have and be thankful. God blesses us abundantly, and I think there are times that we take Him and all He does for granted. We sing a song in Worship services, “Count Your Many Blessings”, that I want to share today.

1) When upon life’s billows, you are tempest tossed–Count Your Many Blessings.
2) When you are discouraged thinking all is lost–Count Your Many Blessings.
3) When you are burdened with a load of care–Count Your Many Blessings.
4) When you look at others with their land and gold–Count Your Many Blessings.
5) When you are amid conflict, whether great or small–Count you Many Blessings.

IT WILL SURPRISE YOU WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!!!
“STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES”

SMILE God loves YOU!!
Have a good day.

Today I want to talk about serving two Masters.

Luke 16:13 says:
No servant can serve two Masters, for he will either hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other. YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MAMMON.
I heard a lot of people say this and usually they are referring to the work place. It simply means one cannot serve God and Satan at the same time.

I want to put another spin on this by saying you cannot serve WORRY and FAITH (Two Masters of Our Life) at the same time.
By definition WORRY means:
Mental distress or agitation resulting from concern, usually, for something impending or anticipated: ANXIETY

By definition FAITH means:
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

My question is this: If you are constantly worried about what is going to happen, how can you have the assurance of the things hoped for and have a conviction for those things? Simple answer: YOU CANNOT!!!

There is no reason to fret about yesterday, there is nothing that can change what HAS happened. If you have a strong FAITH, there is no reason to WORRY about tomorrow. Take care of today!!
If you have WORRY in your life, you don’t have proper FAITH.
If you have the proper FAITH, you won’t have WORRY in your life.
You CANNOT serve Two Masters at the same time!!

SMILE God loves YOU!!
Have a good day.
