Stop and Consider What Matters

Let’s play Truth or Truth. Want to? Tell me the truth…

What matters to you? List it out - 1., 2., 3… all the way to 10. Write down your top priorities. No one is looking, so be honest and list out what matters most to you. Consider your driving force. What motivates you to do what you do? Again, don’t list what you wish motivated you - write down what really spurs you to action.

If we answer these questions honestly, there are some things on that list that should not be there. All of us have something or our name would be Jesus. Right? So what do you have on your priorities list that does not matter and what drives you that shouldn’t?

The struggle is that what matters to us doesn’t always line up with what God says matters most. Maybe you are focused on what is right in front of you. You don’t really have a priority list, you just declare you are doing the best you can. Or maybe you have a rigid list of what matters to you. It looks good, but if the truth be told it is only in your head and not in your heart.

So, what are we to do? Here is the thing. What matters to us should be what matters to God. We cannot make the list on our own. We must ask God to make our list for us, to show us what truly matters. How will He do that? Well, we have to spend time in the presence of the living God. To do that, we must make time to study scriptures, fast and pray. As we do, we surrender and He empowers. He changes us - transforming us from the inside out. As we transform, so does our list of priorities.

Spending time with God - in His word, in prayer - are gifts… precious gifts that we should not take for granted. These are spiritual disciplines that our loving Father has offered to us to make us more like Him. It matters. Our relationship with Him is what matters most.
