Doctor's Life Support : Priorities
Make me first... 1 Kings 17:13 (AV)
The choice we often face is not between the good and the bad, but between things that matter and things that matter most. None would question the legitimacy of the activity of the widow of Zarephath in assuming her family responsibility, but her wisdom was shown in acknowledging a prior claim. The request of Elijah was the claim of God upon the little she had.
It finds its reflection in the words of Jesus set against the background of a busy life and an affluent society. 'Seek first the kingdom and his righteousness' (Matt.6:33). This is the one safeguard against the thorns and thistles which choke the life of the seed.
