"First things first". These words are easy to speak but hard to put into practice. For busy people living in a demanding world, placing first things first can be difficult indeed. Why? Because so many people are expecting so many things from us!
If you're having trouble prioritizing your day, perhaps you've been trying to organize your life according to your own plans, not God's. A better strategy, of course, is to take your daily obligations and place them in the hands of the One who created you. To do so, you must prioritize your day according to God's commandments, and you must seek Hid will and His wisdom in all matters.
Have you fervently asked God to help prioritize your life? Have you asked Him for guidance and for the courage to do the things that you know need to be done? If so, then you're continually inviting your Creator to reveal Himself in a variety of ways. As a follower of Christ, you must do no less.
When you make God's priorities your priorities, you will receive God's abundance and His peace. When you allow God to reign over your heart, He will honor you with spiritual blessings that are simply too numerous to count. So, as you plan for the day ahead, make God's will your ultimate priority. When you do, every other priority will have a tendency to fall neatly into place.
Thoughts For Today.
Have you prayed about your resources lately? Find out how God wants you to use your time and your money. No matter what it costs, forsake all that is not of God.
The word of God is appointed. There is always enough time to do the will of God.
A Tip For Today.
Unless you put first things first, you're bound to finish last: And don't forget that putting first things first means God first and family next.
A Prayer For Today.
Lord, let Your priorities be my priorities. Let Your will be my will. Let Your Word be my guide, and let me grow in faith and wisdom this day and every day. Amen.
A Verse For Today.
The thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing what God wants. Then all these other things you need will be given to you.
