Priorities

"When the heart is taken up with the weighty things of eternity, with the great things of eternal life, the things here below that disquieted him before are now of no consequence to him in comparison with the other."
--Jeremiah Burroughs (Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment)

What weighty things of eternity is God putting into my life that I am not attending to? Separating the big stuff from the small stuff can be so elusive at times.

Looking down the battlement wall from a fortress off the Naples shoreline gives me a sense of the strength and solidity of Eternal God in a universe immersed in time.
