Redefine means to give a new definition by establishing different characteristics. So, when I think about redefining my priorities, what do I think about?
In some countries, March is a crucial month, for example here in Argentina, the summer holidays are ending and most of the people are starting their normal activities (school year, work projects, etc.). So, it is a perfect time to think about priorities related to a new successful routine. Especially, in my particular case, after having enjoyed the month of prayer throughout February. God definitely surprises us with His connections!
So then, what are the steps I am going to take for my priority list? After being redefined by prayer, I found that in my life there were loose and, perhaps, messy steps in my routines. I know it is difficult to set up priorities in this century when technology changes our lives just with one click. But I found there is only one way to solve this issue.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. (John 10:9, NIV)
Seeking the Door will be my priority. After all, this is what all human beings seek and long for (Rom. 8:9). Our greatest desire is to find green pastures and move into God's freedom. I just need to focus on the door (Jesus), follow His path (showing His Kingdom to this world), and recognize that I need Him and that only in Him can I find the life that my heart yearns for.
By redefining my priority list, I can obtain a restored relationship with my Creator Father who allows me to partner in His redemption plan for creation. This is my first and ultimate priority!
