Prioritize Your Spiritual Health

 

1. Prioritize God’s Word.

Luke 2:41

41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 

Psalm 19:7-8

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Pick a time
Pick a place
Pick a plan

 

“Don’t just read God’s Word, pray God’s Word”

“Information + Conversation = Transformation”

“I don’t remember every verse I read, but God remembers every verse I pray.”

 

2. Prioritize God’s Church.

 Luke 2:42-47

42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing Him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for Him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for Him.

46 After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were amazed at his understanding and His answers. 

Psalm 84:10 

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

 

3. Prioritize God’s Mission.

Luke 2:48-49

48 And when His parents saw Him, they were astonished. And His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us so? Behold, Your father and I have been searching for You in great distress.” 49 And He said to them, “Why were you looking for Me? Did you not know that I must be in My Father's house?”

Matthew 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

“Maybe God is asking you the same question today: Are you about your Father’s business?”

Luke 2:52 

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
