I am a firm believer in achieving peace by maintaining your priorities. I could write a book on this as there is so much to be said about it. Maybe one day I will. For now I'll get the main ideas down:
First and foremost, where do you start? What's the first priority,? What do you fight for to keep first in your life? God's word tells us that. It also tells us where peace can be found.
Mark 12:28-30 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. This is the greatest commandment."
In a nut shell, God comes first. Have you put God first in your life? are there other things that you have put before Him? Eliminate them!
Sounds harsh, huh? But here's the thing.. Yeah priority #1 is God. He comes first. That means you may have to make a few sacrifices in order to keep Him first. But it's more than just putting Him first and making hard sacrifices. It says, "Love the Lord your God." If you love someone with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, how hard is it to put them first? How hard is it to make sacrifices for them?
Theres a picture in our house where we can see it everyday and it says, "when you love someone, it is not a burden to do things for them."
I'm so not even close to finished here. That's just priority #1 and not enough to say about it! There is so much more to blog!
