Your Life Reflects Your True Priorities

"How you live your life reflects your true priorities. Suppose you talk to God about both the small things, as well as the big ones you face each and every day. And suppose you make plans for your future based on the big picture of eternity, instead of the small snapshot of daily life. Then, chances are, you're trying to keep God number one in your life". Inspired Faith

When we were much younger, we use to spend a lot of time talking about what we wanted to do when our girls were raised or when we retired. Now that both of those things have occurred and we have reached the last years of our lives, planning for the future is a bit different. It's too late to financially plan for the future; too late to concern ourselves with buying a lot of new things because things aren't that important to us anymore. Traveling in our motor home was really enjoyable in our younger years. Now, it serves as a good bedroom for extra company. We would rather sit and talk about the trips we made rather than the ones we could make.

One thing it's never to late to plan for though is our eternity. It's wonderful when that question is settled at a very young age when a person has the rest of their lives to live for Him. But, our Savior is ready to accept anyone who wants to come to Him for salvation.

Have you made those permanent plans; the plans for where you will spend eternity?

"I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life. And we are sure of this, that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. " 1 John 5:13-14 (TLB)
