Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 03/17/24 by Pastor Steve Shields.
How are your priorities? Pastor Steve has some questions for you to ask yourself to assess your priorities.
What’s your schedule like? Are you giving attention to the needs of others? Do you find yourself struggling with anger? Where is your treasure? Where is your heart? Are you giving God His due – your time and service?
Why should God be a priority in my life? He made you. He called you. Jesus died for you. He placed His Spirit within you. He will require an account for your life. He forgave you.
Priorities require commitment. What kind of commitment do kingdom people make?
Kingdom people make a proactive commitment. They take initiative, and they take responsibility. They make a commitment that is sincere and not casual. They make a commitment that is broad in scope. They don’t give God the leftovers, instead they give Him the first.
What if you were to write some promises to God? They might be things related to relationships. Things that distract you from God. Things that tempt you to compromise.
But be aware you can’t maintain the covenant. Instead look to the Holy Spirit for strength. Look to Jesus for grace. Look to tomorrow for hope.
