 Found notes ….3…priorities and incidentals….

Take a container filled with sand and rocks, pour it out , then refill with the same rocks and sand…Will you start with the sand or rocks first?

If you refill with the sand first, there is no room for the rocks…but if you fill it with the rocks first, the sand fills in around the rocks and your container is refilled…

The rocks are the priorities and the sand is the incidentals…

sometimes we make the sand the priorities and the rocks the incidentals…but then we can’t fill our container backup…

We take on the less important things and overlook the really important things…or we major on the minor issues rather than the major issues.

We want to change others or ourselves lives, attitudes, etc…but the outward appearance/action is really minor, when the major issue is the heart change.   We sometimes get lost in the minuscule when there is really a bigger picture…

God looks at the heart, our heart, others’ hearts…where we stand with him rather than what we wear, who we are, what our standing is…, etc…oh, that we would see as God sees…the priorities….not that he doesn’t care for the details as we see around us…He does…

 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

1Sam.16.7

 We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

2Cor.5.12-15

 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matt.6.33

Thank YOU….

Seek ye first…
