Lakeshore Friends—
Have you discovered that there will always be too much to do? Too much for you to do no matter what you do or how hard you try to change it. The requests will keep coming and so will things that you are told you “must” do… immediately! With some occasional fluctuations in intensity, it will never change!
So what do you do to avoid this “I’m just too busy” life? If you can’t change your circumstances (and most of the time, you can’t), you can still change one thing to avoid getting crazy busy: your priorities!
When you live a prioritized life, you simply spend your time on the most important things first until your day ends. When your day ends, you pick up again on the most important things first until your day ends. You repeat this every day until you die. Simple isn’t it?
What about if you don’t get to other things? Well, if you prioritized right, then it simply means they weren’t that important and/or someone else should be doing them.
When I think of the book of the Bible that talks about priorities in an impactful way, I think of the Old Testament book of Haggai (pronounced “Hag-eye”). This is not an eye disease that an ophthalmologist can treat, but the name of an Old Testament Prophet who was called by God to help the post-exile people of Israel rebuild the temple of God. God shares how to prioritize life through Him and we’ll look at these principles on Sunday.
Do you know how to prioritize life’s demands?
Do you live by priorities?
Do you know your priorities?
If you want to learn the power of priorities, be here on Sunday!
Warmly,
Vince
P.S., Wow, what an amazing service last Sunday! The eight baptisms were incredible along with our incredible music and creative team.
