What is your top priority?
November 27, 2009
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
--Matthew 6:33
Is the kingdom of God and his righteousness really your top priority in life? This is a tough question, I know.
It is easy for us to say, "My relationship with Jesus comes first, followed by my family, church, career, and finally hobbies and other activities." But it's another thing to actually live out those priorities!
We are constantly faced with choosing between the things that we want to do and the things that we ought to do. And in the process, our priorities can get turned upside down! Sometimes we can even get swept up in the priorities of those around us.
Have you ever been a victim of the tyranny of the urgent… when someone expects or requires that you do something for them rather than tend to your priorities? Sure you have. And it will happen over and over when you are not committed to your priorities.
This is why the apostle Paul urged you and me to lay aside the weights… the encumbrances that slow us down and keep us from advancing in our calling and the things that really matter.
Set your priorities and goals in life beginning with the Kingdom of heaven, that is, your relationship with God! Commit to know him, to love him, and to follow him.
SET YOUR PRIORITIES AND GOALS IN LIFE, BEGINNING WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

OUR THANKS TO YOU!
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
