The priority of choice is the heart of wisdom because wisdom is principally the ability to discern difference in choices; and decision is the mechanism through which we side with destiny. You see, that thing they normally refer to as "the future" is not ahead of you; it's not sometime in years to come. Rather, it is within you; you experience "the future" every day through drops of decisions you make. The future is the resultant or compounding effect of efficient or inefficient use of every hour!
Life is serious, and yet ephemeral; hence one must figure out the dot in the circle of life and live purposefully in that destiny zone. Priority must of necessity be given to enhance those tributaries that empty into the ocean of destiny. Activities should be purpose-driven and destiny-propelling. Whenever destiny calls, wisdom demands that every other thing be suspended because it is whatever you do for destiny's reward that will constitute life's net worth when there's no more life. Wisdom reveals who is wise and who is foolish through what they prioritize. What you prioritize is revealed through your choices.
Jesus met two men one day. He called the first, "Dude, be my disciple." The man told Jesus he would first go and bury his father. Jesus had to teach him this great truth. "Leave the death to bury their death. You go and preach the Kingdom of God." In other words, destiny is calling you, attend to it first and suspend every other thing, that includes your father's burial.
The second man said to Jesus, "Lord, I will be your disciple, but let me first go home to bid my family members farewell." Jesus said to him, "Guy, you would have missed the call of destiny by the time you come back. The decision to be my disciple is a destiny decision, and it requires that you suspend everything else whenever destiny calls."
Whenever it comes to Kingdom matters, Jesus suspends every other thing. Where to sleep doesn't matter because foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head. Hunger has lost his power because his meat is to do the work of his Father and to finish it. Whenever destiny calls, and Jesus' family members are also calling, He would rather answer the call of destiny because his mother and brethren are those who hear the Word of God.
Jesus didn't disrespect or disregard his family. He was simply teaching us a powerful lesson: Whenever destiny is calling, let every other thing be on hold! If you are not this crazy as far as purpose fulfilment is concerned, you can hardly fulfill one!
