Luke 16:13  No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

In his explanation of the First Article of the Apostle's Creed, Martin Luther gives a lengthy list of blessings from the hand of our gracious Father. The greatest gift He has given us is the gift of redemption through faith in Christ Jesus, our priceless treasure. With our eyes focused on Him, all other blessings fall into their proper place. Money, or material blessings, will be left behind when we close our eyes in death. Our higher good, Christ Jesus, offers life eternal in heaven for free to those who believe in Him. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). Yes, we should love and trust in God above all things, loving Him who first loved us.
