The Lord has been showing me that priorities, (what truly is most important to me) guides my life. There is no real doubt that the above statement is true for everyone. Statistically speaking when parents are asked what they value most where their kid is concerned unfortunately is not that they love the Lord with all of their heart, but that they get a good education, especially one that will make them money. I have some friends that I believe know the Lord, "work" diligently in their local church, but what is admittedly most important to them where their two boys and their daughter are concerned is not that they walk deeply with Jesus, but that they get a good education from a fine upstanding university so their "future" will be set.
God is drawing me (again) to the simple fact that there is absolutely nothing more important than knowing Him, loving Him, and letting Him work in me. There is no desire, talent, gifting, or ministry more important than knowing Him.
The bottom line of it all is that to the extent that Jesus has control of my life dictates every decision and action of my life.
Once again my favorite verse..."that I may know Him..." Philippians 3;10. Oh to go deeper, oh to let my life be engulfed and obsessed in the relationship I have with Jesus Christ! It is better than anything else.
Mary chose the best...to sit at the Master's feet.
Like always...think about it.
