OzThoughts Monday 17th November 2008.

I think I may have told of a Salvation Army Officer Training College teacher who often told us "we must get our ‘prioritrees’ right”. So “prioritrees” was a word we worked into the conversation between classmates. If someone said “priorities” there would be a chorus saying you mean ‘prioritrees”.

As Christian our priority must be Christ and living for him. Today as we step into the workplace or into the school, if we claim to be a Christian then our words and actions must reflect that.

Christ must be supreme in our daily living. As Paul writes: “6My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. 7You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving. (Colossians 2 The Message )

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, I pray today that I might live Christ. I thank you for my salvation. I pray that the Holy Spirit might give me opportunity, wisdom, words and love to share with others. Amen.

MEDITATION:

[Listen: http://www.salvoaudio.com/audio/music/mus_1600.mp3 ]

I bring to thee my heart to fill;
I feel how weak I am, but still
To thee for help I call.
In joy or grief, to live or die,
For earth or Heaven, this is my cry,
Be thou my all in all.

Chorus
Christ is all, yes, all in all.
My Christ is all in all.

Around me in the world I see
No joy that turns my soul from thee;
Its honours fade and fall;
But with thee, though I mount the cross,
I count it gain to suffer loss,
For thou art all in all.

I've little strength to call my own,
And what I've done, before thy throne
I here confess, is small;
But on thy strength. O God, I lean,
And through the blood that makes me clean,
Thou art my all in all.

No tempest can my courage shake,
My love from thee no pain can take,
No fear my heart appall;
And where I cannot see I'll trust,
For then I know thou surely must
Be still my all in all.
Authors: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) (verses),
