Your Highest Priority
God wants you to prosper in every way! It is important to note that prosperity comes from the priorities we set into motion. Some things in life require little attention and others a lot. What you deem as a priority will determine how much attention it deserves and how far you can go and what you can accomplish in that area.
God’s highest priority is you! Yes – God is in love with you! The old covenant was a covenant of works, but God’s new covenant with us is love. It is so important to realize that the very essence of God is love, and his love for us is everlasting!
Jer 31:3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
Jesus told us that the first and greatest command was loving God, and the second was loving others. When determining priorities, seeking God and doing life his way must be at the top of the list. God has a covenant of love with you, and he is the only source for a life of true fulfillment and significance!
Deut 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
True prosperity is knowing that you are loved by God and therefore loving the life you live. Knowing you are loved gives you the power to help others to know that same love. This kind of prosperity is the result of surrendering to God’s love and letting that love flow through you!
The secret to living a Christ-like life is not trying to be righteous but instead allowing God’s love to produce its righteousness in you and through you. The love of God will draw you into the secret place where you discover that God alone is your identity, your purpose, and your ultimate prosperity! Money cannot buy what I’m talking about – only intimacy with God can bring this about!
Since knowing God is the most essential thing in life, it would make sense to make knowing God and living in his abundant life of faith…
Your Highest Priority!
