0:00.0	It's easy for us to get consumed with the process of decision making about priorities,
0:06.2	rather than be consumed with the eternal outcome of those choices to determine what our priorities are.
0:14.4	So we, it's so easy. I fall into the trap of, okay, how can I live in that, you know, get through
0:19.3	the day to day and honor God with it? Yes, yes, yes. But when you think of it in light of eternity,
0:24.5	and you think of it, like read the book of Revelation, right? Look at the end and then start from there.
0:32.4	It really will calibrate your perspective on how we should be living the choices we should be
