Keep The Main Thing, The Main Thing

March 12, 2013 by Church Without Shoes

GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE GOSPEL

John 2:13-17 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

PERCEPTION // What I see/hear God saying/doing:
Father, I see that You led Jesus to always keep the main thing the main thing.

PLAN // What I am going to do about it:
In the coming week, I am going to intentionally set aside time to list the things that I believe God wants me to do above all else. And then to also make a list of what I am going to stop doing so that I can make sure God’s primary calling in my life is primary.

PRAYER // Seal the deal:
Father, help me to see what is my primary gifting and how you would use those gifts to do exactly what you want in the coming week – no more and no less. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
