[Rev. Doc]

Who's Your Master?

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
Matthew 6:24

John Kenneth Galbraith, in his autobiography, A Life in Our Times, illustrates the devotion of Emily Gloria Wilson, his family's housekeeper:

It had been a wearying day, and I asked Emily to hold all telephone calls while I had a nap. Shortly thereafter the phone rang. Lyndon Johnson was calling from the White House.

"Get me Ken Galbraith. This is Lyndon Johnson."

"He is sleeping, Mr. President. He said not to disturb him."

"Well, wake him up. I want to talk to him."

"No, Mr. President. I work for him, not you. When I called the President back, he could scarcely control his pleasure. "Tell that woman I want her here in the White House."

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you always remember that He is your Master.

"The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master".
~Peter T. Forsythe

That is so awesome! That's a great illustration. (It kinda reminds me of Mrs. Landingham on the West Wing)
