PRIORITIES

Is it not strange that we can for one moment lose sight of heaven, and the increasing glory; and grovel in the dust to gather pebbles, for the pleasure of throwing them afterwards away?

Mary Winslow

Do not have your concert first and tune your instruments afterward. Begin the day with God.

Hudson Taylor

Quoted in: A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 99.

I want the whole Christ for my Savior, the whole Bible for my book, the whole Church for my fellowship, and the whole world for my mission field.

John Wesley

The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.

John Wesley

When we pursue first things first [God’s priorities – Mt. 6:33], the second things are thrown in; when we pursue second things first, we not only miss out on the first things, but we also miss the fullness of the second things [see 1 Kings 3:5-14].
