It is a simple matter of priority: Do you put higher priority on Spiritual things, or things of this Earth? When asked in its simplicity, I believe most of us would say, sure, I put my priority in Spiritual things of God, but in reality, is that true?
I ask because I always grew up believing in that fashion; after all, this life on Earth is meaningless without God, and that is what I am here for. But in my day-to-day life, there are many things and activities that constantly pop-up, asking for immediate attention, attempting to change my priorities, each and every time.
I always believed that my utmost is for God, and then family and friends. But the past couple of weeks, has not been so. I felt like I have placed work in front of everything else, and at times, even God, by choosing to skip the weekly Bible study for work. In the end, what does it matter? Sure, I need the job to pay for the mortgage, but without God, the mortgage, the house, the life on Earth, would've been meaningless anyways!
Knowing the workload that I have ahead of me for this week, a depressing topic in my mind, I am very much tempted to again skip the Bible study for the week. But perhaps I ought to keep "eternity" in mind, when approaching this week.
How can I expect God to bless me in this life, when I cannot stay focused on God in all things?
