BIG ROCKS! God's Plan for Prioritizing Your Life
Do you need to give some attention to Prioritizing your life?
6 Signs of Misplaced Priorities:
1. Busyness
2. Overly Stressed
3. Nagging Guilt
4. Constant Financial Problems
5. Weak devotional life
6. Escapism behavior
Where do you begin?
• Begin with God- Get His vision for your life
“But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.” 1 Corinthians 8:6
How do you get started?
• Take everything off your plate- You have to make room for God by removing the things that are distracting you and dominating your time.
• Put God back on- You are not ready to prioritize your life until God is the center of your life. Everything that you do should flow from this relationship and not the other way around. The mistake that most people make is they fill their lives with so much activity that there is no room for God. Until God is #1, our lives will remain chaotic and out of order.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33
In my next post, I will show you what this looks like in your day to day life.
You are on your way to productive life!
