That has changed so many times in my life from making money, job prestige, security, recognition and other self-focused priorities.  There is nothing in this world that I wouldn\u2019t give for the safety and health of my wife, but even more important than that is how I honor God.  There should never be anything more important than God in our lives, since if it wasn\u2019t for Him we wouldn\u2019t be here.  Everything I do should be centered with God in mind, everything I do needs to honor God whether at work, rest or play my life should be a reflection of Jesus.  I\u2019m so far from that and I need to do more to accomplish this goal that the Holy Spirit has put on my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Sometimes I think I\u2019m doing okay for God, but I look at the time I spent that doesn\u2019t and I know I\u2019m so far from what I should be doing.  I need to spend my time more preciously, honoring God.  He has blessed me with talents and gifts that I can use and I need to be doing just that honoring God with the time I have left on this earth.  What I do now will affect me for all of eternity.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord I want to do what is right by you, but I always fall short and I need you to keep me on the path you want me to be on.  Give me wisdom and courage to do what is of you and so when I come home you will welcome me with a smile and a well done good and faithful servant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 2 Sam 19:30 Then Mephibosheth said to the king, &#8220;Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.&#8221; Observation: What\u2019s most important to us?
