Here is a scripture to indulge in , meditate, and live by.
All scriptures are food to the spirit.
Two masters, could mean, anything.
YOu want to love the LOrd, follow his teaching, be his disciple.
Then there's the double headed mind.
The book of James talks about being
DOUBLE MINDED.
Further saying;
a double minded person is UNSTable in ALL HIS WAYS.
They might be untrust worthy, saying one thing, and thinking
about another.
A term also used in th psychiatric book also.
Unstable, that's very concrete evidence of someone,
Not only addressing money, but anything, as a master, and your the
slave to something.
You know what.
Eventually it will tear you apart,
as being lukewarm, hearted towards fully
loving the Lord your God.
A decision only That is left to us.
One of the gifts of creation besides procreation That God has given us, is free will.
God dosn't use witchcraft, forcing someone.
REvelation states that Behold he stands at the door and knocks, if any man open it
he will come in and be with him.
Eve had a choice, though conned, it was her hand, her mouth, and decision to partake
of the tree that was specifically told her not to touch.
This is going back to Genesis where the Lord God said,
He created us in his own image.
A mind, given to Adam, to name all the creatures, and
THINK
God's design.
YOu know the devil wants to warp your mind,
destroy, breakdown, and destroy.
The ability to think, reason, rationalize, and
DECIDE
is
your ability to grasp and hold hope, faith, and love.
Bearing the name of Christ, and having as the scriptures say the
Mind of Christ, is supernatural thinking.
another scripture for this, is
Greater is he within me, his HOly Spirit, than he that is in the world,
saying?
that he is powerful, and we have been given the ability to overcome
temptations, though once etc
He has given us an escape through being repetitive
A decision, of do you want to or not.
Life is not a blame game, it is what you choose to do, and the consequences
staring you back into your face.
Toss a quarter, stop gambling with life
make a decision.

Luke 15
The lost sheep, that Jesus found
The lost sheep, that Jesus found
[FONT="]3-4 So Jesus used this illustration: “If you had a hundred sheep and one of them strayed away and was lost in the wilderness, wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine others to go and search for the lost one until you found it? [/FONT][FONT="]5 And then you would joyfully carry it home on your shoulders. [/FONT][FONT="]6 When you arrived you would call together your friends and neighbors to rejoice with you because your lost sheep was found.[/FONT]
[FONT="]7 “Well, in the same way heaven will be happier over one lost sinner who returns to God than over ninety-nine others who haven’t strayed away![/FONT]

There's a story in the Word, which is lifting, there's a lot of stories in the world, and one thing is not good for our mental health, is the phones are allowed to take all the violence and post. This is not good, from my perspective, were made to thrive on love, even a baby when not held from lack of human contact, dosn't thrive.
Putting all this into the human spirit, could make one emotionally cold, and why not, copy cats, he did it, just another video of minute of disturbance of destruction to peace.
You know the Word says, that health is calmness.
There are a lot of verses on that, it's not viewing violent acts.
So here's something instead of becoming addicted to the phone and what's going on each morning,
Try refreshing the mind, to good thoughts, and not negatives.

The story was of a widow who had a son, and had no income. Elijah the prohet came to her house, and asked her to bake him a cake. There's a lot of avenues on this, some say she gave what she had, and relate it to money, it's someone elses perspective, let those messages minister straight to the heart, not from anothers point of view. I believe that in her despair, and we all know we were there once, or are, where the income, or not enough of food, or the high electric or other bills. I believe she already was trusting God, and he showed up in time. It didn't say she wandered into looking for work, and the bible says, that the church should take care of the widows, and the orphans, in the N>T. But this was in the O. Test. She might of been grieving, and in despair, and very little faith, or hope at that time. She said, we just have a little food, if we give that to you we will die. Elijah said, give me any empty pots, and go to your neighbors for more. He made a miracle by materilizing very good oil, in all the empty pots, and said to her, sell this oil. As she selled it, it kept refilling, and she went from crumbs to abundance. With the Lord, at the end of the rope, Jesus is holding the other end, if we get there, we could have a miracle, don't let go.

BOOK ONE (Psalms 1–41)
1Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2But they delight in the law of the lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
4But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6For the lord watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. new living bible NLB
******************
This sounds like unkindness and real unkindness to those who are called wicked.
It's really not true. One might think, God hates humanity or revenge because ADam and Eve turned their back on him away from obedience.
Not true, John 3:16 For God so LOVED the world that he gave, and who so ever will, believe shall be saved.
Humanity is stubborn, rebellious, and has a free will. This is the carnal nature, before the Spirit of the Lord changes us into new creations.

1 Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?
2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one.
3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.”
4 But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury.
6For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”
7 The king proclaims the LORD ’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father.
8 Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession.
9 You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.’”
10 Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!
