CHANGED PRIORITIES;

The sign alongside the road:

CHANGED PRIORITIES AHEAD
When I asked the taxi driver what it meant, he said," It has to do with how you give way to the traffic in the round about just ahead. You yield to a different driver than usual."
Long after we negotiated the traffic ccircle, i continued to ponder the sing.
I saw it as a vivid three-word summary of what it meant to follow CHRST.
When Jesuss clled Peter and Andrew to be His deciples, " they immidiately leave their nets and followed Him"( mt. 4:20 ). At that moment, it was as if God placed His sing on the road of thier lives: CHANGED PRIORITIES AHEAD. He does desame in our lives as we hear Christ calling us to follow Him.

Jesus tought that our natural concern for material needs must be replaced by seeking God's kingdom first and trusting Him to provide (6:33). when He associated with " sinners" and invited a despised tax collector to become one of His deciples, He challenged our projudises
(9:9-13). Jesus also rebuked our jockeying for position when He said," If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all the servant of all" (mk. 9:35).
When we follow Jesus Christ, we discover that changed priorities are necessary to negotiate the road ahead.

today Christ calls." COME FOLLOW ME!
Do not look back to yesterday;
Fresh grace I' ll give to my Will,
my joy you'll find as you obey."
