REALationships Study

REALationships: A Devotional Journey Day 29: Family First Priorities are the key to thriving in life. You have to know what has to get accomplished and what can wait. You must learn what you have to focus on immediately and what doesn’t deserve your attention at all. Priorities at work create effective work deadlines and make your boss proud. But the wrong priorities in life can complicate things way more than you ever intended.

You prioritize what you love and honor the most. The issue, for most people, is their family is the last on the priority list. This is backwards. Your family, whether you currently have kids or not, should be the first to get your priority. Your time is spread, your energy is spread, and your love is spread about, but don’t take away from your family to give to others. Your family is your first ministry God has entrusted you with. It’s how you treat, honor, and love your family that shows the Kingdom of God the greatest. In a day when families are dispersing, children have no real parent, and kids are begging for love an attention, don’t deprive the blessing you have in your family any longer.

READ: 1 Timothy 3:1-5 DISCUSS: - Set a time each day that you will spend time playing and talking with your family.

- Plan a family day together soon. Ignore your phone, emails, and other things and go to the zoo or the park. Work on it tonight.

- What can you do prioritize your family even more?
