The other day in Sunday School, our normal teacher could not speak, so one of the class taught instead. It was a pretty good review of the story of Abraham, Lot and Sodom & Gomorrah.
Toward the end of the class, he talked about the whole ‘pitched his tent toward Sodom…” part of the scripture, and what that means. (Gen 13:5-12) He had found a sermon on the web (looks like http://www.sermons.org/sermons/sermon55.html) which had a list of what “pitching your tent toward Sodom” is like.
One thing when he said it stood out toward me: “When we get our vision from the Bible but our Priorities from the World”
That is me to a ‘T’! Every time I hear a good sermon, speaker, read the Bible, or in any other way, I get this “Vision” of how I am supposed to be, how I want to be, how I should be! I think, “now I’m gonna make a change!”….then the priorities of this world take over, and I forget what was said, what I thought and everything else, basically. Until next time….
Think about your priorities that you have each and every day. You may think they are honorable, good…or maybe not? In any case, if God isn’t THE priority (ala, loving God, loving others, praying, reading the Word, witnessing, being a Christian) then maybe your priorities need a little reconsideration? I know mine do!
