DARE TO SHINE HIS LIGHT ON PRIORITIES
By Kenneth Copeland
Think how great it would be if you had one thing on your to-do list today…. That might be hard to imagine with Christmas right around the corner.
What if that one thing would put you and keep you in the perfect will of God, guarantee your success, and empower you to be BLESSED and a BLESSING every day of your life?
Sounds great, doesn’t it? But to most people (Christians included) it also sound too good to be true. “My life is complicated and demanding,” they say. “I have to earn a living. I have to take care of my family and fulfill my responsibilities at church. I have a lot of different priorities. I can’t tend to just one thing!”
From the world’s perspective, such statements make sense. But according to the Bible, that’s not how God sees it. He says we have just one priority: “My son, attend to my WORDS” (Proverbs 4:20)
What does it mean to attend to God’s WORD? It means we put it first and make it final authority in our spirit, soul, body, finances, and everything we do every day. It means we always take time to hear what THE LORD is telling us so we can say and do whatever He tells us to.
In short, it means we hang on to Jesus’ every word. …..When we make that one thing our priority, everything else falls in line.
