Of the many lessons that life teaches us, the importance of establishing priorities is one of the most critical. Without an understanding of one's priorities, success to any degree, in anything, is extremely unlikely, if not impossible.
Fundamentally, there are two ways to approach the exercise of establishing priorities in one's life. The first is generally based on a world perspective with regard to money, career status, security, pleasure, appearance, etc. Coupled with the influence from the world, most people determine to establish priorities based on what they believe will bring them the most satisfaction and what is most important to benefit them in this life.
The alternative approach to establishing one's priorities is to base those priorities on the revealed wisdom from God - the Bible. To many this appears to be very simplistic and even old-fashioned, but if pursued, the results will be to help you align your life with what God made you for. It will provide the foundation for you to build a life with purpose and meaning and one that will give you true success.
Take the challenge to pursue this alternative. Begin to read God's Word. It will not disappoint you.
"Lord, you have put me in this world for something; show me what that something is and
help me to work out my life purpose." (Oswald Chambers)
