First things first. Had this experiment started with the water, with the teacher filling the aquarium until it could hold no more, the addition of the sand, gravel and rocks would make a terrible mess. The process just doesn’t work in reverse. If you don’t start with your big rocks, you just can’t fit them in. First things first.
The same principle holds true in our lives as well. First things first. What are the “big rocks” in your life? Do you put them in first? Are do you fill your life with the trivial stuff and find you can’t squeeze the big rocks in, not without making a big mess.
What are your big rocks? In your ministry? In your life? Do you give them top priority?
