What Matters Most

What matters most?

My top three, in this order specifically:

My God. My family. My friends.

Things down the line from those have to come behind what matters most.

It all matters, but it can’t all matter most.

So, let’s keep the main thing the main thing, and the main thing will take care of the other things.

I’ve been overthinking ALOT of things lately. So much so, I’ve been overthinking my overthinking!

I’ve been plagued by people’s opinions, persuaded by popular opinion, and perplexed by my own opinions.

What He wants > what I want.

What He commands > what others demand.

When we lose sight of what matters most, we get tripped up by the lesser things because we’re not being equipped by the main thing.

Let’s keep our eyes FIXED on the main thing. He’s the only thing that can FIX the lesser things.

And guess what? Overthinking anything fixes nothing!

So, focus on what matters most — God, family, friends, in that order, keep them close. I promise you’ll see the difference it makes, and find clarity in any steps you need to take to keep the main thing the main thing.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” ~ Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-3‬
