Priorities

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about priorities a lot. Not necessarily mine in particular, but just priorities in general and how we determine what is important to us.

What are your priorities?

God? Taking care of or providing for your family? Your job? Your friends? Being a good person? Going to church? Sports?

As Christians we should have one priorities: to worship and bring glory to God. Everything else should come second to that. It shouldn't be enough to that it's one of our priorities, but it's our only priority. What would the church look like if that was true for everyone? If everything else was always secondary to worshiping and glorifying God? I bet it would be a lot closer to what heaven will be like than we are now.

I'm lucky enough where my job is based on this. I get to have conversations about God, pray for people, and worship Him and basically get paid for it. That's pretty awesome. So far I'm really excited about my job and love being here. There have been some frustrations, but it hasn't been any different than it would be back in the united states.

That's all for now.
