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 evaluate our use of time on a regular basis. We should consider three steps: setting priorities, examining for inefficiency, and starting at the bottom and cutting. By doing so, we can ensure that we're using our time wisely and not squandering the gift of moments that can never be recaptured. When faced with uncertain times, it's crucial to keep our primary goal constantly in front of us. For me, that goal is to be well pleasing to God. It's not about seeking success, power, or wealth, but about living a life that honors Him. At least once a week, I examine myself before God to see if my life is measuring up to the standard He has set for me. This helps me stay focused on what's truly important and avoid getting sidetracked by trivialities and distractions. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I need to be proactive about handling failure. When faced with self-made problems, I need to determine how I'll react and come up with a new strategy to handle them. I'll pray and ask God to help me react by faith to any future failures, and then I'll apply my new strategy to the next failure. By taking the initiative and acting immediately in faith, I can trust that God will guide me through uncertain times and help me stay focused on what's truly important.
