What's Important?

What is important to you? I do not mean your new iPhone or recent paycheck I mean what is really important.

Recently, I had to make a decision and it got me thinking, "I wonder what is important to me?"

"My computer."

"Wait, huh? My computer?"

That is not what I envisioned coming to my mind first. I spend a lot of time on the internet but surely I would have thought of something else a bit quicker. That surprise made me consider what aspects of my life have the longest lasting impact on me. It also caused me to think about who and what are most important.

"So what is really important?"

"God."

"My students."

"My family."

"My friends."

It is funny how easy it is to get confused! There is a Bible verse that says "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." It is my opinion that your heart will be with the things you judge most important. I will be the first to say I need to double check where my treasure is, double check what things I value as important.

"Lord, I ask that what You see as important I would see as important as well."
