Today our senior pastor, Don Sharpe was preaching from Proverbs 26 on Wisdom at Work. Something he said really hit me that i think we as teens or even as adults don't think about a lot. He said that most of the time the urgent things in life, the things that beep, buzz, alarm, and push at us to answer them and answer them now are not the important things in life. The important things in life sit back and wait they don't push at us and pull and get us to answer them now. Pastor Don used cell phones and computers as an example of the incessant beeping and buzzing to answer now, when things like homework, or the job you keep pushing off, and most important God's word don't beep and buzz at all telling us do them now! Rather they wait as the big important things of life. It really hit me today and just helped me to understand a lot better how the important things in our life work. When we don't do them, there is consequence; sometimes not immediate, but the consequence is there. So remember that the urgent things in life are not the things that are most important :)
