Men, if you can read this one and not be convicted...makes you go hmmmmmm.
Priorities matter. God before self. Service before pleasure. The temptation, though, is to reverse your priorities so that all you give to God and others the leftovers. After you have filled your savings account and paid your retirement funds and fixed up your house, then you will see what’s left for others and to share with God. After you mow the lawn and paint the kitchen you, then you will think about serving over at the church.
• Ask God to shake up your priorities today.
The prophet put it this way, “consider your ways” (Haggai 1:7). When Haggai finally made it back to Jerusalem from exile, the people were indulging themselves and neglecting God’s worship. They had houses with paneled walls, but the Temple lay in ruins. Their priorities were backwards, and God was greatly displeased with them. What about you? Do you need to reorder your life so that it honors God more and you less? Don’t wait any longer... consider your ways carefully, today.
