Priorities
Experts in the study of time management all agree that to make the best use of your time you must decide
on your priorities. In order to do that, you must decide what is important and then you must decide what is urgent. Whenever a matter is both important and urgent it becomes a priority. Everything else becomes secondary.
This principle is especially true when it comes to your soul's eternal destiny. Let me illustrate. A man in EI Salvador heard the gospel preached. He learned the importance of accepting Christ as his Saviour. Then his wife announced that she would leave him if he became a Christian. While the man saw that salvation was important, he failed to see its urgency. In other words, it was not a priority for him. He valued his wife and wasn't ready to give her up.
One day he saw a man trying to jimmy the lock on his truck. He shouted at the man, whereupon the 
would-be thief drew a revolver and fired at him. Falling to the ground from the impact, he felt a searing pain. Lying there in the dirt of the road, the man's thoughts raced. He asked himself, "What good would a wife do me now? I'm dying and I'm not ready to meet God." Right then and there he realized that the gospel was not only important, but it was urgent.
He promised God that if he could have one more chance, he would trust Christ regardless of what his wife might say or do. Staggering to his knees, he searched in vain for blood from a bullet wound. The pain he felt was from the bullet hitting his buckle. Before long, he accepted Christ as his Saviour and was truly born again. When he told his wife, she said she loved him too much to leave him and before long, she also accepted the Saviour
You may never face a life and death situation but maybe that's what you need to make you realize that your soul's salvation is a priority. Why is it a priority? Because it is both important and urgent. You cannot seek salvation too soon but you may seek it too late! This is why the Lord said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God."
(1). Not when you are dying, but first. God demands first place.
(2). If ever you're going to get into the kingdom of God, you'll never do so seeking it casually. "Ye shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart."

2. Jeremiah 29: 13
