How Are You Prioritizing Your Life?

What are your priorities in life?   Is God first?   Is your family second?  Or are you just going with the flow.   Are you being swept away by the ways of the world and doing what the world does?    Do you run to God just because you know that there is safety in Him or do you just run to Him when a problem arises?   

The Bible tells us that there is safety in God.   It tells us to come to Him and to call on Him.   It tells us to dwell with Him.   To dwell means to take up residence and to make your abode in Him.   We have to stop trying to live outside of God’s Word and will while expecting Him to shield and protect us.    We have to do all we can to live within the parameters He has set. 

So as we go into this next year, we need to make sure we have our priorities right.   We need to make sure that God is first.   When we put Him first, that means we are striving to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him.   We are striving to live according to His Word and we are doing our best to be His representative here in the earth.    After God, we need to understand the importance of family.  Cherish the family God has given you and refuse to let your job, your friends, or anything else come between you and God or the family God has given you.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 
Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
