What's Important?


Are the things that are important in our lives relative to our current situations or are they absolute?

I believe the important things in our lives should be absolute, however, we allow our circumstances, emotions, selfish nature to dictate what's important to us at any given minute.

Truthfully, our relationship with God should be paramount, should be the most important thing day in and day out. But really, how much time to we devote or invest into that relationship? Prayer, study, etc..

After God comes our family, most of us will say that family is important to us, but how many people have abandoned spouses and children for affairs? How many kids have stabbed their parents in the back? How many sibling rivalries have escalated to the breaking point?

What's important to you? What should be important to you? What's been important to you in the past that you've now pushed to the way side? Why did you push those things aside?

After God and family, your involvement in your church should be on the list. I'm not saying you have to kill yourself and be running around burned out on church ministry 24/7, but it should be an important aspect of your life...how often are you attending church? How often are you tithing, giving, investing? How involved are you? Are you serving or taking?

Right in the mix should be what you do for a living, your career, job, source of income, what you do to provide for your family. How are you as an employee? Do you treat your job like its important? When you got that job, did you count it a blessing from God? How are you treating that blessing now, how are you talking about that blessing now, do you remember that it was and is a blessing?

What's important in your life?

Examine yourself, discover what you have made your priorities...are they pleasing to God? If no, how can you fix that? If yes, how can you improve on it?

Take a few minutes and seek God out in prayer and ask Him to reveal to you where you need to do some work in your own life.

Blessings,
Ryan
