What would it take to make your spiritual life your number one priority?
For many of us, the question is almost offensive. I've even heard it asked, "How would your life look differently if you really began to obey God's word and live it out as though it were true?"
The question may be offensive, but it is one we must daily ask ourselves if we want to take Jesus' words seriously. For real...what's your #1? Do you seek Christ, knowing Him, honoring Him, knowing His will and doing it above everything else? Do it and you'll find that everything else suddenly comes into focus, priorities find their proper place, and things are rightly aligned. Jesus spoke of this when he said:
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Mt. 6:33and
"The most important [commandment],” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’" Mk 12:29-30Spiritual self-examination is so very Biblical. When was the last time you did a spiritual pulse-check? Don't wait 'til your life is already wrecked to give God first place. A great starting point is Psalm 119.
Get alone somehow with God today and pray this prayer:
"Search me, Oh God and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me and lead me into the way everlasting..." (Ps. 119)
