Short but potent!

This week’s post will be short and sweet as I want to share a simple, yet profound, principle that may just rock your world.

I came across this thought this week while reading the book, “Lead…for God’s Sake!” by Todd Gongwer:

We shouldn’t live our lives in a way where we list our priorities as God first, family second, job third, friends fourth, and so on. Instead, Christ should be at the center of ALL of our priorities! Living out our lives with passion for Jesus is something that should be at the center of every area of our lives, not just the “spiritual” things we do.

As I have shared before, I am a “list guy”. For too long, my mindset has been to do a task and check it off the list. I think I have done that in my relationship with Christ also. But, the more I learn about Jesus, I am pretty sure he isn’t all that interested in my “To Do” list accomplishments. He is going to look at my life as a whole and will see how I lived my short life on this earth. Did I put Him in the center of my life? Or, did I put my list in the center of my life?

My challenge for you this week is to take some time and evaluate where you are in this area. Is your faith something on your “To Do” list, or is it at the center of everything you do? Take today and tomorrow and see if your life practice is matching up to what your answer was.

More to come…

    I tend to be a multi-list person attempting to allocate time for reading and meditating on the Word while fulfilling various tasks and goals. I found keeping the perspective nothing consist without God, and what I “have” is God’s property I’m responsible for according to his principles. Although there’s much room for improvement, that truth gravitates all aspects of my life to Christ.
