Establish Godly Priorities, Part 5—Summary

What are some biblical priorities that should guide our lives? Dr. Mark Corts recommends these four.

When Lot chose to live in the well-watered plain of Jordan, he was enticed by what he saw but missed the importance of what he didn’t see—the moral depravity of nearby Sodom and Gomorrah. The lesson? Choose the unseen over the seen.
As he led God’s people out of Egypt, Moses invested his life in doing God’s will and shunned sin’s fleeting pleasures. We, too, should choose the eternal over the temporary.
In Judges 7:1-7, God cut Gideon’s army down from 32,000 men to 300. The principle? Choose quality over quantity and trust God with the outcome.
In recommending that God’s people take Canaan, Joshua and Caleb gave a minority report and countered the fearful advice of the ten other spies. We also ought to choose the difficult over the easy.
