Just after Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He goes into the temple and he cleanses it of those who were doing business there. He said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves." This was a challenge to me to remember to keep my priorities right. Do I allow my work to infringe on my spiritual life? Does my busy schedule crowd out my time with God? Perfectly legitimate things can become wrong if they are allowed to take the place of worship.
Lord, help me to keep my priorities right. Help me to remember what is truly important in this life. Help me not to let the things in life that are urgent get in the way of things that are important. Help me to have an eternal focus. Help me to see what will be important when I come to the end of my life. Help me not to get overly attached to the things of this world. Help me not to get bogged down in the mundane, but keep my eyes fixed on the eternal.
