PRIORITY ONE
By: Pastor Matt Morgan
Seek you first the kingdom of God…
Matthew 6:33a AKJV
The lion hunts dangerous prey. They hunt animals like wildebeest, kudu, water buffalo . . . . Have you ever wondered why they don’t pursue smaller, safer animals that pose no threat? Why do they spend so much time, energy, and effort chasing the big game when the small stuff is so plentiful?
This is why: the energy the lion spends chasing the small rodent takes more calories than the caloric intake of the catch. The lion can be successful in the hunt and devour the prey, but still lose in the process. He can starve himself to death while eating the smaller prey, because they do not provide enough nutrition to sustain himself.
To survive, we must have our priorities in order. We can’t get distracted by lesser things. We need to give heed to the weightier matters. When order is restored, blessing will be released. When we seek the important things, God will add other things to our lives as a bonus.
