Your Question:
How do we navigate uncertain times when our priorities are constantly being tested?
Answer:
As I reflect on navigating uncertain times when our priorities are constantly being tested, I'm reminded of the importance of setting priorities and staying focused on what truly matters. As a pastor, I've seen many people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and lose sight of their primary goal. It's essential to take a step back, examine our priorities, and make sure we're not sacrificing our relationships and spiritual well-being for the sake of efficiency. In our daily choices, I try to pause and pray when the decision is important for the future course of our lives or the lives of others. This helps me stay grounded and focused on what's truly important. As a family, we prioritize our time together, making sure to spend quality time with each other, whether it's playing games, watching a baseball game (my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs!), or simply having a family dinner. By keeping our priorities in order, we can navigate uncertain times with more confidence and peace. As a Christian, I believe that our primary goal should be to seek to be well-pleasing to God. This means holding ourselves to the highest priority year in and year out, even when faced with uncertainty. By keeping our eyes focused on God and His will, we can trust that He will guide us through even the most challenging times. As I tell my congregation, "Lord, when I fail, I will..." - having a proactive strategy in place can help us navigate failure with faith and hope.
