PRIORITIES - Matthew
6:33
In
the 6th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus gave us the prescription
for a successful life. He
teaches us how to pray (verses 5-13), to forgive
(verses 14,15) guidelines for fasting
(verses 16-18) and what priorities
should govern our daily living
(verses 19-34).
Matthew
6:33 promises us that if we put the Kingdom of God first in our
life, We will have all of our needs
met.
We
just returned from a mission trip to Mexico 2 days ago that took us 320
miles below the border. One
family that invited us to eat a meal with them
had a kitchen with a dirt floor
and we could see through the cracks in the
walls. They were giving a
piece of land to the Lord for a new church to be
built. Another pastor that
lives in a small house with a dirt floor is
buying concrete blocks, as he gets
a few pesos, to build on to his little
church.
Maybe
we should re-examine OUR PRIORITIES by studying the 6th chapter of
Matthew.
