Priorities | First Things First
One of the facts of modern day life in America is that most (if not all) of us are quite busy. In fact, author Molly Teuke recently noted, "A 2018 Pew Research survey revealed that 6 in 10 adults in the US feel too busy to enjoy life, and in 2023, 60% of some 2,000 Americans believed there are not enough hours in the day to complete their to-do list. That means more than half of Americans never feel like they have enough time in the day to complete their to-do list."
Sadly, this cultural phenomenon is not avoided by Jesus-followers. Stats for casual church attenders, committed members, paid staff, and everyone in between are just as bleak - and sometimes worse! It affects our work, our play, our health, our sanity, and our faith. It's a real problem!
But the most tragic reality is that (because of this busyness and other schedule-related factors) those who claim to follow Jesus are often quick to offer the disciplines of their faith and their connection to Jesus' family & His mission as first-to-be sacrificed. Unfortunately, the demands on our time and focus are not likely to spontaneously self-resolve … so what are we supposed to do?

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of our priorities. We often get caught up in the whirlwind of daily demands, neglecting the most important aspects of life. However, the Bible offers valuable insights into the consequences of misplaced priorities and the blessings that come with aligning our focus with God's will. A short collection of four ancient calls to center & focus our lives, the book of Haggai serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of aligning our priorities with God's plan.
