Your Question:
How do we navigate uncertain times when our priorities are constantly being tested?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with navigating uncertain times when their priorities are constantly being tested. In my experience, it's essential to take a step back and re-evaluate our priorities regularly. This involves intentionally setting our priorities, examining our use of time for inefficiency, and being willing to cut back on non-essential activities. By doing so, we can ensure that we're focusing on what's truly important. In our personal lives, Susan and I have found it helpful to prioritize our time with God and with each other. We make sure to schedule time for prayer, worship, and family activities, even when it feels like there's not enough time. By doing so, we're reminded of our primary goal - to be well-pleasing to Him - and we're able to stay focused on what's truly important. It's not always easy, but by making our spiritual priorities a non-negotiable part of our daily routine, we're better equipped to navigate uncertain times. Ultimately, navigating uncertain times requires faith and trust in God's sovereignty. When we recognize that He is in control, we're able to let go of anxiety about the future and focus on the present moment. As my son Joshua and daughter Rebecca learn to navigate their own challenges, I remind them that each moment is precious and that obedience to God is the goal itself. By living in the present and trusting in God's goodness, we can find peace and guidance even in the midst of uncertainty.
