Prioritizing!
Joshua Ben Sirach, invite us not to set our hearts on the desires of this world. Rather, we should place our trust in the Lord. Life in general is about prioritizing.
For us Christians, God and his kingdom come first in all aspects of our life: family, economy, friendship, and socio-political life. "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" as stated in the Bible (Matthew 6:33). This implies sacrificing and cutting off whatever that does not draw us close to the kingdom of God.
Let's be selective about our hearts' inclinations!
Cut off whatever that does not align with our Christian values!
Jesus, I trust in you
