Repost: Misplaced Priorities (15 sec read)

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.  

(Eph 5:15-17, NLT)

Redeeming the time means making the most of every opportunity. When priorities are wrongly placed, undue attention is given to things that are of temporal worth at the expense of the things that are of eternal and more significant value.

Satan knows too well that once priorities are misplaced, it becomes much easier for him to cause havoc and untold miseries in the lives of individual, families, communities and even nations.

You must identify areas of misplaced priorities in your daily schedule as well as the havoc that have been caused. Then make a determined resolution to put things right.

Tomorrow comes quick

20121122-170025.jpgAlmost 20 days already; yeah! the year is still young and gradually the Lord is ordering our steps into achieving His purpose(s) for our lives. But it is easy to be in a new day and yet walk in the shadows of yesterdays…you know the kind of feeling when you wake up in the morning and mourn about what went wrong yesterday. Whew! it’s kind of tricky when you become so excited about yesterday‘s success(es) that you fail to recognize amazing things you can do today for better tomorrow.

Think about this; Today is yesterday’s tomorrow. What matters is TODAY. You can’t (appear to) do things in Tomorrow, or (go back to) undo things in Yesterday. In effect, looking back at yesterday, what can you do today as you prepare for tomorrow. These three days are very critical as you journey through life.

Reminder: Tomorrow comes quick.

Therefore, as each blessed day is unfolding in 2018, be mindful of the simple little tricks the enemy will use to keep you from expanding and/or most importantly keep you bound in your comfort zone when he tells you to wait till tomorrow/next week/next year.

Today

Tomorrow (or next week or next year) is running hurriedly towards us so if you can Pray today, pray. If you can Fast today, Fast. If you can win soul today, just do it.  If you have to read today, read. Whatever you have to do today (or in 2018) must be carefully thought through and done. Remember, Today is Yesterday’s Tomorrow or better still This Year is Last year’s Next year.

Redeeming the time…Eph 5:18

Misplaced Priorities

“See that ye walk circumspectly, not as fool; but as wise redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is”. Eph 5:15-17.
