Everyone wants something. The thing might be a material
possession, a job, a vacation, a relationship, a compliment, an experience,
anything. Some things are good and some not so much. Some things you may want so bad you can taste
it or feel it.
No matter the thing, it’s important to keep it properly
prioritized. The things we want drive where we spend our time, thoughts, money,
energy, and emotional investment. If not careful, a thing can affect your
identity to the point that your sense of worth is rooted in having or not
having the thing. This treads in dangerous waters.
Anything that takes the place of Jesus as your heart’s chief
desire is idol worship. It is critical to keep Him at the forefront of your
wants and desires. When He is, the ebbs and flows of life won’t shake you from
His faithfulness and constancy. “Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday and today and forever.” –Hebrews 13:8
It is only in Him that you can find ultimate fulfillment. So whatever other
things you want, make sure He’s the main thing.
In pursuit of His best,
Andrew
