Good Morning,
I am off to work very early this morning. I have a tough week ahead. I just poured a hot cup of Door County Toasted Praline Coffee and it is time to write.
I want to start this Tuesday with a thought or two about priorities. The number one priority for all should be walking with God in our own personal life. That relationship needs to be strong and unobstructed by anything. Excuses are not to be tolerated.
Deuteronomy 5:33 You shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you shall live long in the land that you shall possess.
The second priority is to have a healthy relationship with our families and our spouses. This takes time and is not something done very easily. Time is an investment for contentment and joy.
Note that both priorities take time and effort. If one of them is shortened of effort and commitment, you will see that the other is in failure mode as well. They go hand in hand. If the personal walk with God is not where it needs to be, and kept holy, there is no chance that the other relationships. won't fail as well. Sooner or later the ugliness of the world and our own ambitions will ruin the family love and functionality.
Colossians 2:6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.
Let's make these two priorities a "must do" set of things to take into the last month of the year and hopefully they can be carried over into 2024.
Marty
