I won't serve two masters

The spoken word

I am ashamed, I cannot beg,
just like an athlete with one leg,
I have no faith, I'm filled with fear,
where can I run, the way's not clear?

I ask my question laced with pride,
yet know my lack's a doubt-filled ride.
And yet somehow if I can turn,
I know God's fire in me can burn.

The spoken word won't fall to ground,
if grace and truth in me are found
I'll write it on scrolls of my mind,
that I may read its truth to find.
It's like a candle in the night,
it chases shadows with faith's light.

With robes of righteousness I'm clothed,
that in God's love I am enclosed.
No more to roam as darkness' spawn,
on wings of grace my spirit's borne.

Luke 16:13-15
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. He said to them, You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in GodÃÂ¢ÃÂÃÂs sight.
Isaiah 55:1-3

Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.

1 Samuel 3:19
So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. NKJV
