Time for examination
Looking at where I invest
My time, talents and treasure
Is what I’m investing in
That which has eternal consequences
Or that which is perishing and will not last
Is what I say I believe
Being lived out in my daily life
Or is something askew
I fear my life is out of balance
That which is most important
Has been set aside or put on the back burner
Lord guide me as I choose
To put You first
Make priority that which most important to You
May I fear You
Not what fellow man may say
For I will give an account You alone

It’s another Saturday morn and I wanted to participate in Lisa-Jo Baker’s Five Minute Friday writing challenge. Head over to her website “Lisa Jo Baker Surprised by Motherhood”. Be sure to read some of the entries from other writers. I can promise you that you will be blessed challenged and convicted.
Amen, Susan. Amen. I echo your prayer, “Lord guide me as I choose
To put You first Make priority that which most important to You.”
It’s nice to know we’re not alone in fearing our lives and priorities are out of balance…it all rests on so many little choices, day in and day out, doesn’t it? Your prayer here is beautiful.
