What is the most important thing in your life? Really! Is it your music? Maybe it is your job? Could it be your family? If I were to ask you to write down the most important thing in your life, what would it be? Have you ever thought about it?

Here is a fact: Happiness—real happiness—the kind of happiness that makes you look forward to the next day is directly related to the thing that is most important in your life. That’s right. So, maybe the reason many are not happy is that they don’t have their priorities worked out.

But, when you know that each day you are active in achieving the most important thing of life, then you like yourself and you are happy.

In setting your priorities, remember that Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God…” (Matt. 6:33). God demands and deserves first place in your life.
