Prioritizing

How do you prioritize? When I held down a "regular" job, my priorities had to be those which fulfilled the larger requirements of my employer. Even now, teaching part-time and home-making full-time, I have to keep my mind on the priorities God gives to each of His children and the fact that we have to plan these days in keeping with the timelessness of eternity. A recent sermon at church on Psalm 90 highlighted this, as do the commands Paul gives in his letters that we do whatever we do to the glory of God.

In Light of Eternity

In light of eternity,

What should my priority be?

How should I plan my days?

How should I seek His ways?

In light of eternity,

What should my pleasure be?

In what should I seek my joy?

For what should I lay out my ploy?

In light of eternity,

For whom should my living be?

At whose feet should I lay my life?

To whose ends should I serve as wife?

In light of eternity,

O Lord may I ever live, ever serve, every grow,

That Your joy I may forever know.
