THREE PRIORITIES OF LIFE
MAY Friday 14th
TEXT: Ecclesiastes 12: 13 - 14
Key Verse: “So then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God” Romans 14:12
Some things are more important than the essentials such as air, food, water, education, health, wealth and deliverance from the hands of the devil. There are things in life that are more important, but most people only know this in their dying moments, when it is already too late or even after death. God created man with a vacuum that cannot be filled by anyone except God Himself. Man is in search of satisfaction. He goes here and there in search of daily living.
Despite how wealthy, educated a man is, man is still not complete as an entity. There is emptiness; no satisfaction, no pleasure and no fulfilment. A student might say let me finish school so I can come back home to sleep and rest, but will soon find sleep becoming useless. Some wish to have supernatural power to be able to kill, destroy and commit all sorts of evils but soon discover the damnation ahead. Religion will not fill that vacuum either. Therefore the three most top priorities in the life of man are as follows: (1) To Know God and Jesus Christ whom He sent, (2) Heaven and (3) Eternal life.
Matthew 6: 25 – 30 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Thought of the day: Vanity upon vanity all is vanity, says the Preacher.
