We Walk a Fine Line

“Watch out!… A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” (Luke 12:15 NIV)

How easy it is to be distracted with work, wealth, and possessions. Trust Jesus to cut through and tell it like it is. We need to be reminded of our priorities and of the things that can so easily ensnare us. Our life is more than what we do, where we work, and what we own. We are called to operate with excellence in our sphere of influence yet be untainted by its falsehood.

Jesus again exhorts us in Matthew 6:33 to “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Our challenge is to run our agendas, schedules, focus, efforts, and resources on His mandate and His priorities. Only then will we truly operate in excellence and in building His kingdom.

Prayer: Lord, show me Your schedule and priorities for my life and business. Amen.
