Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Matthew 6:24

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

DEVOTION
Based on Matthew 6
Jesus speaks directly to the tension between serving God and serving worldly gain. We can’t fully give ourselves to both. Mammon represents wealth, security, and self-driven success apart from God. When we try to serve both, our hearts become divided. But a surrendered heart can’t have dual loyalties.
