Harmonized Priorities

A disciple is a student who imitates the doctrines and identity of their teacher, who submits their identity and will to the authority and leadership of their master, thus informing their order of priority.Prioritizing starts with what is most important and works down from there. That’s why the day should start with our greatest priority - meeting with God, gaining eyes to discern eternal value, bringing everything into its proper order underneath. Without adjusting our perspective, we are consumed by temporal matters: order is lost, major becomes minor and minor becomes major; the result is chaos. Is there any question as to why so many who claim to be Christ followers complain they don’t have enough time and money when they have failed to apply the basics, seeking and submitting to God’s eternal view by coming to him on his terms? Ravi Zacharias says, “. . .if you do not know how to worship in spirit and in truth, even God will disappoint you, because you will end up using him, you will end up not coming to him on his terms.” True worship is the means through which we gain access to the perfect pitch required to sort through the noise, to be able to harmoniously resolve the dissonance in our life and world, eliminating the waste of time and resources due to being tone deaf. When you are in tune, you will find yourself dancing to the music.
