Everyone has an opinion on what the “Main Thing” is that we must focus on and attend to everyday. What is the “Main Thing” for you?
- Making money
- Paying the bills (goes along with previous one)
- Having fun
- Building/Establishing a good relationship
- Staying out of trouble
It is always wise to get some good wisdom when a person has to really focus on A MAIN THING. After all, there can only be one number one.
The main thing is exactly what a lawyer asked Jesus about one day. “What must I do to inherit eternal life? (Luke 10:25). Actually, he was trying to test or trap Jesus, but in the answer we see what Jesus Christ, unquestionably a very wise man had to say about the main thing.
He referred the lawyer back to the law, the Old Testament written instructions for living and asked him back, “What is written in the law?” And then, the lawyer found the answer to his own question and revealed the “main thing” for all of us to do…….LOVE
Yep, love is the main thing. It is as simple and as challenging as this. But we sure miss the mark sometimes don’t we? Sometimes we get off target don’t we? Even churches sometimes get off track and off target don’t they?
Our calling is to always keep the main thing the main thing, at home, at work, in church even when we play.
God bless you this week!
