There are many things in our lives that we value as being important to us. From our spouses, children, family, job/career, health, home, etc., the list can go on and on. These things require a portion of our time, effort, and attention that can pull us in many different directions. Thus, you can get so consumed with the many things in your life that you can overlook the most important and needful thing, which is fellowship with Jesus. Helping and being there for others is important. Your responsibility to your job and family is just as important. But there is nothing more important than where your soul will spend eternity.
