Priorities

What is of Utmost Importance?

We get busy with day to day stuff and can't get our priorities in order. It seems like we make it so much harder than it really is. But the bible is pretty clear on the matter!
First Things First



But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 






In Luke 10:40, Martha is distracted with many things and upset with her sister for not helping her. That's what happens, we get distracted and overwhelmed with the "many things" in life and forget what's most important and right in front of us. Mary had it right though! Instead of trying to get this and that done, she was more concerned with the most important thing, JESUS was in her living room and nothing else mattered!

When we seek God first, everything else will fall into place (or out). 

It's like a bulls eye! You won't get the bulls eye every time, but by aiming for it you will still get somewhere on the target!

  • God (bulls eye)
  • Family 
  • Church 
  • Relationships
  • Friends 
  • Finances 
  • Work
  • etc!
Every day focus on your spiritual growth and by doing that, all the other things will come together.

I'm not saying that your marriage, relationships, finances, etc, aren't important but if you are seeking God first...He will handle the rest. You can't be more worried about the other things than you are God. He is the most important!
Put people before things and really pay attention to what you put your time and energy into.
Talk to God constantly, make sure you are feeding yourself spiritually, and ask Him to prepare you for each day!
