· How well does what we say our priorities are line up with how we live/decisions we make day-today?
· It’s real easy to say what our priorities are, and to say the right thing – God, husband, children, others – but it’s harder to put our priorities into practice.
· Why?
a. We’re flesh and therefore imperfect, weak, and selfish
- Matthew 26:41
- Romans 6:19a
- The majority of the New Testament is letters to Christians on how to behave, reminding them that they were bought by Jesus’ blood and should now (choose) to live according to the spirit
- Romans 6:1-14
- Galatians 5:16-17
- Philippians 2:3
- Colossians 3:1-3
- 1 Peter 4:1-2
- 1 John 2:1
b. We live in a world that says:
- Me first
- You second
- God – who?
c. Our perspectives are often more influenced by what the world says than by what the Bible (God) says.

In the previous section, I read where it said find out what God's priorities are and get in line with them. WOW! As I order my days, I have to look at my to-do list and pray to God and ask Him is this what He wants me to do today. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plan I have for you declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not ot harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." As I read futher, I realized what I needed to be THE MAJOR PRIORITY in my life. Jer 29:12-13 PRAYER..."Then you will call upon me and come and PRAY to me, and I WILL LISTEN to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all you heart." My prayer is that you are encouraged as you read God's Word as I have. I am so excited about this study. It has lit a fire under me that I cannot explain. My prayer is that God is working in your life according to His glorious riches in heaven.
