The details that matter are God's details. The thing that matters most is God. So, my life should reflect that truth. My priority is God, but if you look at my time, and where I spend it...God may make the top 5, but He is not my number one. That needs to change. That WILL change. I'm in the process of changing it now. Priority time with God. A chapter a day.
Matthew 7- the whole chapter is pivotal. In one single chapter it highlights my disastrous short comings and also my most passionate beliefs.
God warns us not to be judgmental. His word is our guide and also our warning. If we never get into his word we do not get the direction we desperately need. If we were in God's word we would know that "in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." YIKES! He goes on to warn us against hypocrisy and self-righteousness. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Good question. Why am I prone to do this. God instructs us to take care of what needs fixing in our own lives before we go around "helping" others.
