Tough Question

What is the most important focus in life?

Is it family? Is it employment? Is it people? Is it church? Is it stewardship? What is it?

I think the answer is God's kingdom. I know this sounds general and slightly cheesy but it is a truth that is undeniable.

"Seek first the...wait for it...KINGDOM OF GOD." (Matthew 6:33)

I lose sight of this sometimes but lately I am seeing family, employment, church, stewardship through the context of God's kingdom.

Funny thing happens though when you see everything through the filter of God's kingdom...you see everything differently.

I didn't always understand this but I have been watching it for nearly 30 years now. God's kingdom is at the top of the list...it has to be. Everything get's out of wack when we don't see it that way. Everything get's grey. Everything get's blurry.
