MISPLACED PRIORITIES!!

"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". Matthew 12:28. Hey Hey Slow down my friend! You are going towards a dead end man and you don't want to face reality? You are finding ways to "get away" not to relax trying to escape reality- Aren't you? Impulse buying, thrill seeking, purposeless driving, lots of eating out, excessive time in front of Television, yes, that vacation you took you couldn't afford- all these because you couldn't take it anymore, right? This escapism behavior is too dangerous my friend. Your spouse is saying "slow down" and starving for love, your kids are clinging to your leg right now, wish you had 36 hours a day, you are experiencing chest pains, trouble sleeping, restless- uneasy indecisive, unhappy, worn out, Burnout? Your good intentions to be a changed and improved seems to be fading as quickly as they are made? There are a lot of things you know are important that you even told others to do that you are not doing. It's getting to you buddy. Robbing your peace. You may be asking "How did you know this is what is happening in my life". As you can see, misplaced priorities can be destructive in all area of our life. Symptoms that may seem "temporary" concessions in the beginning, appearing as minor aberrations, are gateways to disaster. Bro: Don't be discouraged! God has given us clear directives on how to find genuine peace, fulfillment and productivity in our lives. JESUS says "COME UNTO ME". Prioritizing, renewing, and reevaluating is essential in our life. After all "I have never seen a casket going to the grave yard with a U-Haul attached to it". OUCH!!! Change your way of living man!!!
