2 Chronicles 26-27

Daily Devotional from 2 Chronicles 27—

Verse 6
So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the Lord his God.

To order our ways can speak of organizing our priorities. Our priorities will determine how we live our life, and the things that are most important to us will be evident by the way we spend our time and money. When I was in college, learning how to ‘adult’, I never had enough time. A mentor suggested I keep a written record of how I spent my time for a week, recorded in 15-minute increments. That exercise showed me just how much time I spent doing pretty much nothing!

Jesus regularly prayed to keep his will submitted to his Father. So, I think, must we, when it comes to how we prioritize life! Otherwise it fills with work, chores, family, recreation, self-care…leaving no time for devotions or serving God and fellowshipping with his family. Take a minute (or a week) to examine your priorities and ask God if anything needs to shift. He is worth every minute of our lives!
