What Do I Do First, Tend the Field or Build the House?

What Do I Do First, Tend the Field or Build the House?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom to know sound advice when I see it. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Discerning what is most important and then making wise decisions is not always easy.

Some people have a hard time prioritizing.

Proverbs 24:27 (ESV) helps set the proper of order of work when faced with a specific situation.

“Prepare your work outside;
get everything ready for yourself in the field,
and after that build your house.”

A person may be tempted to build their house first. Yet, the person who neglects his field in the mean time, might find there is no food come harvest time.
