Keeping Jesus at the centre of our lives
Keeping Jesus at the centre of our lives

James Condon: National Prayer Focus ‘Salvos Field Guide’ Day 3.
Day 3 – National Prayer Focus 2022
My wife Jan and I were stationed as corps officers at Auburn in Sydney and during our time there I was greatly challenged following my reading of Colossians chapter 1 in my daily devotions one day.
I was particularly drawn to verse 18 – “that in everything He might have pre-eminence”.
As I look back over half a century of service to God through The Salvation Army, I reflect on the challenge to keep Jesus at the centre of it all.
It is so easy to get sidetracked by issues: be it with The Salvation Army, local community, politics, people or even problems around the world. So many things take us away from Jesus being the centre of it all.
May I suggest a daily prayer – “Jesus be at the centre of it all today.”
Reflection questions
• How do I handle side-tracks in my life and ministry?
• What will my life and service look like if Jesus really is the centre of it all?
