Priorities

Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead. (Mt 8:22)

There is nothing that is more important than following Christ. We can take any good thing and if we elevate it above our primary calling to follow Christ it becomes evil. In the church today we are so distracted we become powerless to carry out the work of Christ. I put so many things at a higher priority in my life than they deserve. It’s ok to be tired sometimes or hungry, or to miss out on some favorite pastime. I must be about my Father’s business. Lord, help me to count the cost and then willingly pay it to be your true disciple.
