Sign post: Determining What Comes First

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
MATTHEW 6:33

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom  of dear Son.  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible  and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions, or principalities or power; all things were created by him and for him. And he is before all thing, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body. The church: who Is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:13-18; and read Luke 14: 15-33.
  Robert Frost's poem "The road Not Taken" describe two roads discovered during a walk in the woods. Frost knows he can only explore one, and he tells himself that someday he will travel the other. But, realistically, he knows he will never return. And by the time we reach the end of the poem, we realize the poet is talking about something infinitely more important than a simple choice of paths.
  I shall be telling this with a sigh
  Somewhere ages and ages hence:
  Two road diverged in a wood, and I...
  I took the one made all the difference
No, Frost is not talking about the choice of paths in a wood, but the choice of the paths in a person's life. Choosing a road Symbolizes any choices we must make between alternatives that appear equally attractive but lead to entirely different destinations. Whether you arrive at excellence or mediocrity depends upon the choice you make at the crossroads and your priorities will function as signposts to help you determine which road you will travel
