PRIORITY

At the beginning of the reign of King Solomon, in 1Kings 3, he went up to the most important high place and made a thousand burnt offerings. This sacrifice was said to have gone on continuously for days! This was just before the Lord appeared to him, granting him his request for wisdom.

Who/What takes the priority in your life? Is it your job,relationship, academics, career, reputation, etc...? All these things can crumble in a short time. But the Lord is steadfast, from generation to generation. It is indeed tough placing God on top of our list, especially when the world is making so many demands on us. However, we must do this, if we desire to be closer to Him.

May the Lord be our priority. May the thirst for more of Him in our lives, never be quenched. May we continue to apprehend, till we are consumed by what we are after; JESUS.

"come near to God and he will come near to you..." - James 4:8
