“No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and like the other; or he will honor one and or he will honor one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth)” Matthew 6:24
Serving two master is a challenge that faces many in our world today, as it has always been, only perhaps it may be a little bit exaggerated today. Perhaps this scripture has been misunderstood. Because certainly the creation of God, of which we are a diffident part, was not created in a limited supply.
Abundance was created for us “all we would have need of” in the beginning. Our ability as humans to accept and make ready our life for the abundance to flow freely may be what we are experiencing. All the Master’s of all time have told us that abundance is ours, it is at hand or it is here now. But we sometimes have not see it with our spiritual or physical eyes.
I’d like to share a story about a twig in the rushing stream during a rain storm.
As I stood in the shelter of my RV, watching the rain splashing on the dry ground right outside my door, I observed the streams, normally low level and slow running, rising and rushing under the down pour. The stream was filling with fallen branches of all sizes. And along came a little twig about 12 inches long. Not much of an object compared to the logs that were fast forming a dam of fallen twigs and branches. The little twig bounced up against the pile forming the log jam in the rushing water. It bounced several times along the length of the jam until it found an end and freely rushing water. It easily bounced along the jam and joined the rushing water, bouncing its merry way down the stream and out of sight.
This week I’d like to challenge myself and all of you to be like that little twig and merrily find a way around each and every log jam that gets in the way of life. The twig didn’t fret or fuse or complain…it just bumped along until it found a clear flow in life. Be like the twig. Serve the one Master of Creation, we call God. Serve Him joyfully, and reap more joy, happiness and everything that is needed for a full day, each day. Be ready to accept it all like the little twig.
It is with deep Honor and Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you.
Let us share also the Light Bearers:
(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)
Men of the Earth, Brothers in Eternity, shake your souls Awake.
The hour so long waited for, the promised hour has come.
Over the dark firmament of suffering humanity is rising the morning star.
Heralding the day that you will understand that mans most sacred duty is to be man.
That is, to manifest life, intelligence, truth and love.
There is no higher aim, no vaster problem.
And you who realize this will break the fetters with which ignorance and fear
have bound unconscious humanity,
and will stand up free and know yourselves to be the eternal manifestation
of the un-manifest.
Witness of the absolute, sons of the great ALL
whom you call God.
