Setting priorities is a question of making up your mind. When our top priority is to serve God first and foremost, then our decisions flow from that commitment.
What will that look like? It will look like holiness. In the bible Daniel jeopardized his career by refusing to eat food offered to him by the king because he had "made up his mind not to defile himself by eating food and wine given to them by the king" (Daniel 1:8). Daniel made one of his top priorities not to defile himself. Can you say the same?
If we claim that God has our heart and that takes priority over all other allegiances on earth, can we say that we've made up our mind not to defile ourself?
Daniel stuck to his priorities, and God stuck to Daniel, making him an indispensable servant to the king and a great role model for each of us.
