There’s Only Now: Part 6
A priority touches everything in your life. Whatever you are seeking or chasing is your priority. Everyone’s priorities are known by what they say and do. How does one set proper priorities? The answer is to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. We need to check our priorities every day. People are being distracted out of the truth that there is only now because of their fear. People are fearful of what does not exist; they fear nothing. We should allow God to instruct us how to set up our lives. If we establish proper priorities, we won’t be shipwrecked and distracted. Remember, you will have to answer to God. You don’t want to be ashamed giving your answer to God. Anyone who is not bold before God will raise suspicions. If you have right priorities, you will be bold before God.
God made His wisdom available and He showed us how it will come out first (Proverbs 19:21 NKJV). If you follow God’s instruction, you will be fine. The covenant is God’s counsel and His will is that we not be ignorant. God told us that we win up front. Those who hear God’s Word and do it are building on God’s covenant. God promised that if we do what is right now then tomorrow is coming with blessings. In obeying God, there is temporary pain but a very long time of blessing. Hang up your schemes, but hold in to your desire. God doesn’t need our help. He is love and love does not seek its own. You need to fire yourself, cease from your own works and enter into God’s rest. We tell God with our actions whether we trust Him and believe Him.
Everyone is spending their lives on something. What are you investing your life in? You could be investing it in the wrong area. Ask yourself: Soul, what will last? You ask your soul this question because you have to live eternally and you have to give an answer to God. God can only be found in the now. Things that will not last are the love of the world and the things in it (1 John 2:16-17). We need to stay away from the love of these things. God will give these things to us when we make Him our priority.
We should build our lives on God’s counsel (Proverbs 8:23). If you want what you want, then get wisdom. We should not go for the promise of gold, silver and rubies, but we should go for God’s wisdom now (Proverbs 8:10-11). If we pick up God’s wisdom, we are strong (Proverbs 8:14). God loves those who love Him (Proverbs 8:17). This is a choice. We need to get in love. At the beginning of every endeavor you should seek wisdom diligently. Don’t take the money up front, get paid! (Proverbs 8:18-21). What good is riches and honor without righteousness? God is the doer, not us. The price that we pay is our heart. God wants to bless us according to His riches and glory, not according to our need.
One area that we should examine is our thoughts. Ask yourself: Is what I am thinking wisdom or is it my way? Is what I am thinking going to last? Foolishness is going about your life like there is no God (Proverbs 24:9). People accused Paul of living in the flesh because he did not live religiously (2 Corinthians 10:1). Though we walk in the flesh, we don’t war against the flesh; we get our minds right. We have to have the mind of Christ. We have to bring everything into God’s counsel. We have our senses to tell us how to walk by faith. We need senses to tell us how to live.
