19 July - 1 Chronicles 28-29; Romans 5:6-21; Psalm 15; Proverbs 19:18-19

1Chr28:8"observe and seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever."

If you set two columns - the first for the prioritites you set in life (such as spend more time with family), the second, you write about what if you don't do so (eg, I will miss out my daughter growing up). This excerise will allow you to prioritize the thing you want to do first in life.

For me, they are (a) to spend time with God, (b) to spend time with family, (c) to excerise regulately and take take of health, (d) to spend time in forex research and teaching and training, (e) others (they are the sand).

You will not get disappointed in spending and investing your time in God and His kingdom. To set your priorities in work (if you don't - less bonus and promotions) will disappoint you if you have put in the effort and yet no promotions and increament. But if you spend time in God - God will not disapooint you.

In addition, your family. Your employer will easily find a replacement for you in days, but if you die, your family will regret forever.

I pray that like David 1Chr29:"28 Then he died at a good age, full of days, riches, and honor." We only live once.
