We live in a world where we are forced to prioritize all the time. We constantly have to choose how to spend our time, energy and money. It is essential to prioritize correctly in order to get the most out of what we have been given, however, that is way easier said than done.
Furthermore, it is crucial to prioritize the most meaningful and valuable things in our lives, however, that might also be easier said than done.I know that my faith and my relationship with God is extremely valuable to me, nonetheless, every now and then, it seems quite irrelevant and ineffective to prioritize that. In a world where everything has to be efficient, prioritizing God is challenging.
However, I realized something important when I read Numbers 18 in the Old Testament. This chapter instructs the Israelites to give God the best and holiest portion of everything given to them. It probably felt like a waste of resources to give the best of what they had to God, who has everything he needs. However, they had to trust God and understand that prioritizing Him was not a waste, no matter what they felt.
In a world where we are forced to prioritize, we have to understand that prioritizing God is the best thing we can do. Giving God the best part of our time, energy and money is not a waste of resources. When we trust and prioritize Him, He will provide for us.
