“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24).
Biblical commentator Matthew Henry wrote these words in regards to today’s verse. He stated, “A man may do some service to two masters, but he can devote himself to the service of no more than one. God requires the whole heart, and will not share it with the world. When two masters oppose each other, no man can serve both. He who holds to the world and loves it, must despise God; he who love God, must give up the friendship of the world.”
None of us can straddle the fence. We must make a choice.
