Priority: Greatest Importance, the state of having most importance or urgency.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 3: 8, 9The first thing you must do is make God number one in your mind; Just going through the motions means nothing if you don’t really believe it to be true. If you believe that you honestly want to change your ways, make a difference, live for God, (insert your goal here), then you have to know without a shadow of doubt that this is your life now.
Your new normal must include God each day.
Living for God does not mean that you have to walk around quoting scriptures and singing Hallelujahs. It does mean however that when going about your day, you focus on doing the “right thing”. WWJD – remember those wrist bands? What would Jesus do? While talking at the water cooler? While talking to a family member about a sensitive subject? While looking around on the internet? Sunday morning? With His money?
Making God a priority in your life is the first step to a peaceful life. Without inner peace, a person is anxious, confused and hurting. What do you choose? Peace or confusion?
Dear Lord, I am choosing to make You a priority in my life, please, help me to stay focused and make you a part of each day.
