Title: What are my priorities in life?
What are my priorities in life?
Text: Matthew 6:33
“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
We must become people who can judge the big things and the small things, the important things and the unimportant things in the field of daily life. Sometimes we trivialize what really matters and waste a lot of time on trivial things that don't matter. I really need to think about whether I know what is important to me and live my life, and how much effort and effort I am living for that important task, or whether I am wasting my energy and time on things that are not important. will do There is a man named Brown who made a lot of money verbally in America. One day, the pastor asked me what was the secret of my oral success and said, “The secret to my success was clear priorities. In everything I thought, first God, second home, and third verbally. Then God made everything prosper.” What are your priorities?
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and riches” (Luke 16:13).
The Christian life should have priorities. When that priority is extinguished, faith also falls like a wingless bird from the high sky to the bottom. That is why Jesus said to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Then, what specifically does the life of seeking the kingdom of God and righteousness mean? For example, at the end of the year, when top stars rushing toward their peak of popularity win various awards such as the Blue Dragon Award, there is a time to express gratitude. Sometimes you will see Christian actors saying, 'Praise God first.' It means to give the glory and joy of riding the car to God first. Then you can see how grateful you are to your family, colleagues, or representatives of your agency. First of all, this is possible because he is an actor who is living a basic life of faith seeking the kingdom of God and righteousness.
Non-believers who do not know this even point their fingers at them, saying they are “Christian fanatics” who show too much. However, the position of Christians is different. Because it is the Lord's command, Christians who have clear priorities in life have a duty to seek God's kingdom and righteousness first, whether they live or die. You can see that Christians who live with such clear priorities in life will receive amazing blessings both physically and spiritually by God's grace.
The first commandment of the law is to love God with all your body, mind, and will, and the second commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. These two commandments are the commandments of the whole Law and the Prophets (Matthew 22: 36-40). You need to know the essence to make your priorities right.
Faith and hope are all important, but love is paramount. The Korean church and its members must become the church and its members who live according to the principle of God first (Deuteronomy 30: 19-20).
Many people today ignore their priorities in life. It's such an important life priority. So after time passes, people shed tears of regret. Priorities should not be reversed. When choosing, think about which comes first.
As our souls prosper, in order to be strong and to live happily, we must set priorities in life, read those priorities every day, and check whether we are living according to the order of life and whether or not we are living according to the order of our lives. Your life will be meaningful, worthwhile and successful when you live it.
* Prayer: Loving and holy God! We often live our lives in chaos. What to do first, what to do later Do it first, and life becomes tangled like a thread, making individuals and families unhappy, and conflicts and quarrels arise among people. Heavenly Father, help us to set priorities in our lives and organize them so that we can live happily and glorify God. There are many pitiful and foolish aspects of our lives, but I thank you for making us seek you more and kneel down and pray to you. Do not yield to the world, do not compromise with the world, and do not forget that our God comes first. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
