Oh those pesky "to do" lists. They seem endless, but they are great tools for helping us conquer the day... and the week. What tasks are important? Which are necessary? Which can wait, if time gets short.
My friend, Stephanie, reminds us to "be where your feet are." It is a reminder to be fully present in the moment you are currently living. It is a great way to walk through the day. Priorities show what we value by how we spend our days.
This scripture is all about priorities:
"And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it." -Luke 9:23-24
The idea of taking up our cross to follow Jesus implies that not every day will be sunshine and roses. There are great days ahead, but there will be hard days, too. We can trust Him to be our life preserver and our restorer when we seek His face and with our whole hearts. When we present our lives as a living sacrifice, there is no losing.
Today, I am grateful for reminders to choose our priorities.
