Serving God -- Not Money

To the follower of Christ,

Jesus' words offer such comfort.

To the selfish materialist however,

They're disturbing, and actually

Impossible to obey --

Until priorities are straightened out.

Take Matthew 6:24 for instance

Where our Master warns:

"Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

Coming into right relation

To the Christian requirement

To serve God, not selfish interests,

Brings the supply one needs.

And it even ensures enough

Left over to help others.

Best of all, it replaces fear

With joy and trust in God's dear love --

The greatest treasure there is.
