Priorities

God has been moving in incredible ways, not only among our friends, but also in my life. When we first arrived one of the long termers reminded us that our primary priority is to worship God. Making friends and sharing with them is secondary to our own relationship with God. It’s like Mary when she’s sitting at the feet of Jesus. When we rest in God, all the rest of our activities are enabled by God because we are doing them through his power and not our own. I finally experienced that last week when I got to spend hours and hours worshiping God. Not only did I feel energized, but I had no trouble getting the things done I needed to and it was a great week for meeting and sharing with people. Praise God for his faithfulness. Let me encourage you to try ‘wasting’ hours with no specific ending point. Spend it reading the Word, praying, singing, whatever, and see what happens.
