Two Masters

It's not hard to see that the economic situation is difficult around the world at this time. I might not have thought that if I were to judge by the number of cars I saw at fastfood restaurants, stores, and bars, on my way home on the bus. 

I do recognize the difficulty when I observe the struggle to gather money. From prince to papuer, bank to grocery store, many devices I notice are in effect to get the most money out of my wallet. Interest rates go up on cedit and the store offer of saving is an offer to have you buy more, most of the time with credit. 

I confess I have absolutly no understanding of economics, however I know my personal budget. What I feel the Lord is saying to me, and He did this to me first with the thought that I can not serve two masters, and then through a christian radio program speaking on debit free living. I came away from the program with the commitment to begin a 10/10/80 budget, and to either peruse the website or pick a book or two from the the programs speaker. 

What I do know. On the one hand I hear from the media that there is a recession, and on the other hand I seem to see many more "passing buyers" then usual these days. One thing I do know the Lord instructs me that I can not serve two master effectively!

There is only one Lord for me, Jesus the Christ!
