SERVING TWO MASTERS

The tragedy of serving two masters
Is that it puts on the supposed servants
The onerous responsibility of constantly
Adjusting his loyalty on the basis
Of anticipated favours from each master
Rather then the master’s demand
 
He will end up doing eye service
No man can serve two masters
The scripture stated emphatically
Joshua succeeded Moses as Israel’s leader
He had led them over the years now
 
And had been used of God
In various mighty ways
Now he was approaching the end
Of all mortals and needed to drum it
Into the peoples ears
 
Ministers and leaders in God’s house
Must warn the congregation
The conditions that the people
Faced in the Bible days are
Obviously prevailing today
 
Christian believers must be warned
To resist with all vehemence
All attraction to unequal yoke
And ungodly relationships
Serving two masters
 
The believers today is at risk
To capitulate under worldly pressure
To join evil doers
But do not worry, trust in the power
Of God to carry you through
 
After all
He has promised in the Scripture
That my grace is sufficient for you
No man can serve two masters
