Commentary
We need things to live (v. 32), and God provides these things for us (v. 33); but acquiring things must not be the main goal of life. You are living for things when they capture your heart (vv. 19-21), divide your mind (vv. 22-23), and control your will (v. 24); and the result of this is worry. The solution is to put God first and start living with eternity's values in view.

Did you know?
"Mammon" is from an Aramaic word denoting "what is stored up" (property). Hence it came to have the meaning of riches or wealth. Etymologically it may refer to anything in which one puts his trust.

No one can serve two masters. The person will hate one master and love the other, or will follow one master and refuse to follow the other. You cannot serve both *GOD* and worldly riches.
Matthew 6:24 (NCV)
~IN OTHER WORDS~ You cannot serve two masters. If you do so, then you will end up being so devoted to one master and forget the other! (Ex. If I was to base all my days on MySpace and also try to do the same with *GOD* it wouldn’t work. After a while I'd end up devoting my whole life to MySpace and the time for *GOD* would slowly decrease. Then MySpace would end up being my main thing. BUT we all have to remember that ‘WE NEED TO KEEP THE MAIN THING, THE MAIN THING[BY. BISHOP T.D JAKES] AND THAT’S *GOD*! KEEP *GOD* 1ST!)
~MAY *GOD* CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL!!~
