His Will. Our Priorities
How do you know what truly deserves your time? It’s one thing to know your priorities—but how do you actually put them into practice? How do you make sure what matters most gets your time and attention?
Dati, may nakita kaming worksheet na simple pero helpful. Nakatulong ito sa amin na ilista ang mga bagay na mahalaga sa amin. From there, nakatulong din ito sa pag-set ng monthly at weekly schedules based on those priorities.
For several years, some of us have used that worksheet whenever we entered a new year or a new season of life. It helped us see what really mattered to us, and make plans around those priorities.
Kasi aminin natin, hindi madaling mag-set ng priorities. Kahit alam mong may mga bagay na important sa’yo, ang dami pa ring distractions, responsibilities, opportunities, and unexpected things that demand your attention. Minsan, what is urgent ends up taking the place of what is truly important.
Pero tingnan natin itong nakasulat sa Bible. Noong tinanong ng mga disciples si Jesus kung paano manalangin, ito ang sinabi Niya:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10 NKJV)
Is it possible that one thing that can help us choose our priorities is pursuing God’s will for our lives—just as it is in heaven? Ganoon ang ginawa ni Jesus. He lived in perfect obedience to His Father’s will. (John 8:28)
We can learn to do the same—not by having everything figured out, but by surrendering our plans to Him one day at a time.
Saan napupunta ang oras mo? At ano ang sinasabi nito tungkol sa mga bagay na tunay na mahalaga sa’yo?
Today, let’s pray:
“Lord, teach me to do Your will. Help me set my priorities according to Your plans, and not just my own. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!
