This is a serious question. One's core beliefs are what make the world view. All other things and matters fall under the lens of the world view. To some, a spouse is the most dominant factor in their life. To others, it may be their job or where the live. Yet, others feel that the church is the most important thing. Jesus says to seek first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Do you believe this? Peter found out how difficult this can be when he pledged to fight for Jesus, but denied him instead. The disciples all scattered at the Cross. The Jews went into exile for not placing God first. Think of the myrtyr, the one who lays his life down for God. Could we do this? It is important to remember that all things, wheather good or bad come from God's hand. You are not your own even if you want to be. It is better to thrust your life into the hands of a merciful God than to trust any man or any thing.
Daily Prayer: Lord, everytime we sin intentionally, we intentionally take ourselves out of your protection. Create in me a clean heart God and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence. Transform me by the Holy Spirit to choose You over things of this world. In Your Holy name I pray Amen.
