PRIORITY

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

There it is right in front of you.

No not you’re English muffin or your delicious breakfast bar. And no it is not that 4^th cup of coffee you are caressing.

Look again.

It’s your day.

Maybe you have a little calendar of events swirling around in your head or if you are like me, you have it all logged in a GOOGLE calendar color coded and parsed down to 30 minute intervals.

However you have it mapped, your day is likely impatient and it wants to get going even if you hit the snooze, tried to delay the inevitable or rolled back over and covered your head in a feeble attempt to make it go away.

Face it, the day is here and the day is ready to go.

How will you approach it?

Well first remember that…

Psalm 118:24

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be happy today!

That is always a good start!

Then ask Jesus to prioritize it for you.

I am serious. Let Jesus have a look at what you have planned and give Him reign to set or reset the course for today.

Romans 13:13-14

We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence…Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!

DRESS YOURSELF in CHRIST! Let Christ have today.

In other words let’s make serving, emulating and imitating CHRIST the priority today!

Why you say?

WHY NOT?

When we make the Lord’s priorities our priorities, we will receive His abundance and His peace. When we make Jesus the priority partner for today’s course of action, He will lead us along the proper path: His path. When we allow Christ to reign over our heart and our day, He will honor us with spiritual blessings that are simply too numerous to count.

Truth is when “DRESS IN CHRIST” and make HIM priority, every other priority will fall into place.

Matthew 6:33 (NCV)

33 Seek first God’s kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well.

So, as we prepare for this day ahead, let’s make emulating Jesus the priority.

How about a quick prayer to help?

“Dear Jesus, I want to be like you today. In all I say, all I plan, and all I attempt to accomplish and do, may I look to you and allow you to guide and set my course. You are my priority. Help me to live like it. I trust you with this day.”

Amen”

I love you all!
