The problem with this kind of living is that the priority of the urgent is not the same thing as living by the priority of the important. All our lives there will be urgent voices. There will be assignments to do, sales to make, things to save for, trips to take, people to see, work that needs to get done. It's a never ending treadmill. What happens when we live by the priority of the urgent is that some day we look back on a list of things we have checked off our To-Do list, but we realize that we have never really lived.
Life is empty.
Lot looked for excitement and profit. James Boice says it well, You may think that you are different from Lot. We could add other indicators to this list, if you are focusing your life on externals and not on your spiritual life . . . As followers of Jesus Christ, our values are to be different from the r rest of the world. Our primary concern is not profit or the amassing of things . . .
