Putting Things In Order

Don't allow the things, the goals, the accomplishments that you are striving for become your gods.  Remember to always put the Father first.  Seek Him and His way of doing things.  Your way may be good and it may have worked over and over again in the past.  But He may have a different route mapped out for you this time.  You don't know the details, but He does.  You don't see the big picture, but He does.  There may be lives that are supposed to be touched on the route you are trying to avoid or haven't even considered.  Seek Him for the what, the how, the when... for ALL the details.  Divine appointments... not always about you being blessed.  More often they are about you being a blessing to others.  Sometimes when others simply see your commitment, your steadfastness, your unwavering love for God as you travel on your journey, it encourages others.  Believers can take it up a notch and unbelievers take note and can see the realness in the relationship you have with God.  Let your main focus and concern be about pleasing the Father.  In doing that, all of the other things will fall into place.
