When I first heard a sermon on this topic, I was almost offended. My
first thought was, "Of course, I serve only God!" However, after I
reflected on the scripture from Matthew, I realized that many times I
serve "masters" - including money, power, material goods, etc.
Our
church recently focused on a book/Bible study about becoming disciples
for our Lord. One of many points of focus was on the spiritual
discipline of "simplicity." One of our pastors reminded us that many of
us have so much "stuff" that it distracts us in our worship time and
keeps us from being in the Presence of our Lord. I haven't gotten there
yet, but I'm working on simplifying my life by sharing with others some
of the many blessings and "things" that I have in my home. I pray for
God's guidance in doing so and that He will help all of us share our
blessings as we strive to be His disciple.
