You know what the biggest problem in your spiritual life is, right? Or at least, you think you do, don’t you? In other words, if you were going to prioritize all the places in your life where you need to grow spiritually, what is the one thing at the top of the list? Here’s an even more interesting question: Have you gone to Jesus to find out what He thinks your biggest spiritual problem is? Have you taken the time to ask Him what is really holding you back? Have you prayed and waited and listened and then prayed some more so that the Lord has a chance to tell you where He wants you to grow? You see, every single one of us needs to grow in a ton of different ways. We all have bunches and bunches of struggles and the thing is, there ought to be a priority to working on that list of hurdles. The real problem is that most people never bother to find out what Jesus thinks about it. Most folks just point out the most glaring, obvious and embarrassing sin in their life and then try to work on that. The only problem is, what if Jesus has different priorities than you do? What if the thing topping your list is not as pressing to Him as something else? One time, four friends brought a paralytic to Jesus to be healed. Jesus told the guy his sins were forgiven. Everyone else was confused because they thought his biggest problem was the paralysis. Jesus had a different list. What does Jesus want to work on in your life right now? What tops His priorities for your spiritual growth? What if the answer surprised you?
