Your ultimate master and “master of all masters” is God.

Your second master is your craft and the gifts/calling God has bestowed upon you.

Your third master is you, yourself.

Serving the Ultimate Master

Ignore your pride and learn to serve God. Submit yourself entirely to his domination and influence. Learn all you can about his word and his commandments. Read and re-read the stories within the Bible and apply the lessons learned to your life.

When was the last time you “took notes” or wrote down God’s word? When was the last time you studied God’s word? Allow God to become your teacher. Allow God to become your master.
