Shopping List for Eternal Life
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Proverbs 23:23
I always prepare a shopping list for groceries. It keeps me focused on what is needed and prevents the spurious purchases. More importantly, if keeps me from returning home without the important items that I needed. Nothing is more frustrating than getting home, only to realize that one item is missing from the dinner ingredients list!
Shouldn't we do the same for our spiritual life? Solomon gives us the key ingredients above. Perhaps a list would keep us from being distracted with the glitz and glitter of the worldly items? Perhaps we wouldn't forget a key ingredient like "understanding" as we go through our busy day? More importantly, we wouldn't arrive at Judgment Day short a key ingredient!
Post a list of key ingredients visible all day long so that you are reminded where our constant focus should be! I am certain your day, and life, will go smoother!
