PS 40:5

Blessed the man who makes the LORD his trust;

who turns not to idolatry

or to those who stray after falsehood.

What is the center of our life? What’s the first thing we think about when we wake up. What are we thinking about and focusing on throughout the day? What is our last thought when we go to sleep?

What are we pouring our energy and time into?

It’s amazing when we stop to take inventory of our lives, how much of ourselves is being spent on fleeting, vain or unimportant things. As Dr. John Wood says, these things “are a distraction or waste of time at best” if not even hurting us.

To live our best lives, to be the best versions of ourselves, we need to reorient our existence towards and for God. Today, be extra conscious of opportunities to course redirect at any given moment to live for eternity.
