Elul 17 :: Double Standards

We all have our blind spots. Thankfully, most of us have people in our lives who care enough to call us out on them.

Today’s Elul challenge was a call to another session of self-examination. In particular, this one feels a little like my toes are being stepped on:

What aspects of the cultural philosophy, prevalent mode of thinking, prioritizing and valuing things have you accepted for yourself and your household?

Oh, I can think of a few. Actually, quite a few. Prioritizing and valuing things that replace the really important things are a big stumbling block for many of us. So, with that thought in mind, I’m going to cut my introspection short and spend some time doing something really important.

But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (CJB)
