Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
In 1995, I left banking to begin ministering to business leaders. My priorities shifted. I convinced myself that putting God first meant putting the ministry first.
Eventually, I began using up our retirement funds, putting my family in a financially precarious position. Because I wasn’t listening to my family and others, God allowed me to destabilize my family’s finances.
Fortunately, once I repented and prioritized my relationship, with God first, my family second, and the ministry third, God showed me mercy.
In Psalm 81, God said, “Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.”
If others are trying to warn you about a stubborn heart, take their charge seriously. It might save you a lot of heartache.
