"What's Important" "Who's Important"

This week’s background scripture:
Luke 12: 22-28 22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. 23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

     In your life , what is really important? Who is important in your life?

     The day that my sister passed I was at work doing the business of the City of Birmingham. I did not know that a phone call would change everything for me that day. In a instance, what was important was not my job at the time. I immediately wanted to get to my mother and talk to my sister , wife and kids. I wanted to call relatives and inform them. I really wanted this to not be happening but it was. In a quick instance, what was important before my call was not important after the call. Life had just changed for me and my family.
      I take this time to challenge all of us to evaluate our lives. Evaluate, “What’s Important!” “Who’s Important!’ In your answer, I believe you will find out if you are on track or not. Remember, when you leave here, your money stays. Your cars stay and your home. The only thing you take with you is you. For teaching purposes only, If you left here today, would people be angry with you? Would you be full of regret because of lost relationships with important people in your life? Would you be leaving warm, loving memories of yourself or memories of you being a hell raiser? Would you be wishing you did more for the kingdom of God? Would that car and house matter that much? The people you were angry with and you would not forgive; would it matter?
      Take the time to see who and what is important in your life. It just might change your attitude and someone’s opinion of you. If you are reading this, God is giving you and I an opportunity to live without regrets and to focus on what’s really important.
