Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, pursuing what matters most.

Does it ever feel like we're chasing after something but never actually reaching it?

Maybe it's chasing after success or companionship or something else we feel we need for fulfillment.

It's not wrong to have desires, but what is our first priority?

Today Joyce shares with us no matter what we're chasing, we'll only find true joy and peace

when we pursue God first.

Now here's Joyce with the series pursuing what matters most.

You know, my husband, calm, wonderful Dave.

He had a little minor fit the other day.

He asked me to take the clippers and shave the back of his neck.

And I do that all the time, so did and then I saw this these couple of wild hairs and I went in pursuit of those hairs now I'm going to tell the

result of pursuing the wrong thing right here so the first time I was real careful, and I got one of them, but I didn't get the other

one.

I thought, oh, I must need to get closer.

So see, you already know what happened.

I took a chunk out of Dave's hair about that wide.

Well, he got upset. I said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was a little funny,

but I said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And then he said, if I did that to you,

you would have a fit.

And so, see, that's big for Dave, because he's normally pretty calm.

I had to apologize five times just to get him to say it was okay.
