Summary
As we focus this week on boundaries for life and vision, today we’ll explore what it would look like to have the right priorities in place in our relationship with God. Many of us live as though God has a long list of expectations for us to meet. Today may God’s priorities for us become our own, and may we set the necessary boundaries in place to keep our priorities in the correct order.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 15:4, and today's worship is What I See by Elevation Worship.

Outro / Wrap Up:
Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast.
As you go about your day today, look for opportunities to ask God to give you vision to see him. If you find yourself staring at a really difficult situation, as God to reveal where he is in the midst of it. If you find yourself not knowing which way to go, ask him to illuminate a path.
I hope that you find God in the midst of your day in more meaningful ways as the result of the time you’ve set aside for him already.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.

| 1:04.0 | in which Jesus tells us the one thing that's necessary. Luke 10 38 through 42 says, Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village, |
| 1:14.2 | and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at |
| 1:20.6 | the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving, |
| 1:25.7 | and she went up to him and said, |
| 1:27.8 | Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? |
| 1:32.1 | Tell her then to help me. |
| 1:34.1 | But the Lord answered her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things. |
| 1:39.6 | But one thing is necessary. |
