Let's Get Down To Business!

We're all put here on earth to serve our Heavenly Father.  He's given each of us different gifts and abilities, and different personalities.  He places us in various locations and gives us different assignments.

At the age of 12, Jesus was already expressing to His parents and the religious leaders of His day that He "must be about His Father's busienss!"  [Luke 2:49]  Yes, He 1st worked as a carpenter in His stepfather's business, BUT His 1st priority was to be about His Father's business!

It doesn't matter what occupation you have--whether it be a blue-collar or white collar worker, a stay-at-home mom or a CEO, the president or the prison guard--YOU are to "be about His business!"

Our Heavenly Father's 1st commandment was that we should not have any other gods, and that we should put Him 1st in our lives.  "Seek Him  1st, and His righteousness (a right relationship with Him)...then all these things will be added unto you."  [Matthew 6:33 - words added]

The majority of society, however, has sought after and lusted after fame, fortune, power, sex, etc. 1st--idolizing other people and things.

You'll never feel fulfilled or reach your full potential until/unless you put God at the top of your list and desire to serve Him 1st.

John 10:16  - You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
