Next means immediately following in time, order, or importance.
What is next in your life? What do you do next? What do you say next? What is the relevant thing that holds importance in your life? The thing that you give priority to. When something is your priority......it is regarded or treated as more important.
What is it in your life that outweighs everything else?
Is it God? Do the things that you give "first" attention to include God? When you have a need......you want Him to drop everything else and to "attend" to you. But what do you do? God's need is that you glorify Him. Is that priority in your life? Do you lay aside everything else in order to "first" give Him praise?
What are your priorities when you get up? What are your priorities as you go about your day? Do you thank Him painstakingly? Carefully and diligently .... as though it were a requirement for your life. Or do you barely thank Him for what He has done and is doing in your life.
Do you take advantage of God's goodness? His grace? His mercy? Do you take for granted His love? Meaning do you appreciate Him for who He is?
When you stop to think about what's next in your life....
Understand that your next moment, your next breadth, your next word, your next step......are all gifts from God.
Look around.....the world is hurting....people are dying......
BUT God chose you. He chose you to stay and to reflect. To reveal who He is to a lost and dying world.
You have been given a position of honor. Chosen to represent and reflect the King. Will the "next thing" in your life be your obedience to His will purpose and plan? Will it be you moving into a place of worship? Will it represent who He is?
The thing about it is....God has given you the power to choose your own "next". It's up to you to determine what's "next" in your life.
Worship For Today.....
