Priorities: A Lesson from Jesus

He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.’
— MATTHEW 15:24 (NRSV)

Most of us have a difficult time keeping our priorities in check. As a result, our attention is divided, our hearts grow weary and what’s most important takes a backseat to the urgent demands. In this devotional, I share a few lessons that Jesus teaches us on priorities and the reason I believe He was able to accomplish the work He did during His earthly life.

Key Scriptures:

  • Matthew 15:21-28 NRSV

  • Mark 1: 35-39 NRSV

  • John 9:4-5 NLT
