Do Not Neglect Important Things

Your greatest contribution to God’s Kingdom work—and to defeating the Enemy’s efforts against this Kingdom— is to keep up your daily devotions; live a clean, honest, humble, Spirit-filled life; trust God to guard and protect you morally, physically, and spiritually.

Look at this life lesson and ask yourself what elements you need to work on in your own life. Is there anything you can be doing more of or perhaps less of to make you a more fulfilled and happy person in the eyes of God? Take stock of your life as often as you can and work on the areas that need improvement. - Billy Graham

We all get slipped in to busy lifestyles. Today's culture teaches us that being busy is smart. Everyone is busy all the time. One thing which can happen when we get busy is that we may start neglecting important spiritual disciplines in our life. Initially it may not look like a serious matter. Very soon neglecting or not finding time for important things will become a habit in our life. 

We should make sure we are not ignoring important things and spending time on things which will give us pleasure now but will eventually destroy us. In the above quote, it talks about greatest contribution and how to defeat enemy's effort against God's Kingdom. We think it's preaching, telling others, attending all meetings in church etc. Those are good and needed but some important things which will strengthen our relationship with God should not be ignored. If we ignore then we will end up in a dangerous zone.

So what are those things? They are:-
  • keep up your daily devotions; 
  • live a clean, honest, humble, Spirit-filled life; 
  • trust God to guard and protect you morally, physically, and spiritually
God Bless you!
