Have you ever tried to burn the candle at both ends? You can get by with it for a while. The trouble comes when the candle begins to burn down to the middle. Eventually, you are squeezed in and then you are the one burning, instead of the candle. Jesus was telling us in this verse we cannot serve two masters. He used money as an example because money is a fearsome taskmaster. The love and desire for money have enslaved millions and toppled the lives of people for thousands of years. This verse is about more than how you regard money. This verse is about where you put God in your life and where you put God in your heart. Who do you serve every day? Do you serve your job, your boss, your family, your dreams, your goals, or your ambition to succeed? All of us give service to others or ideas in some fashion. However, the real question is who or what is Number One. Is your daily life dedicated to serving God in all possible ways? If you have made this commitment then God pours out His form of riches into your heart. With these kinds of riches living within you, then you are richer than the wealthiest person on earth.
