"Carefully careless."
It's not that nothing else matters. Quite the contrary. It all matters. Because life is worship. But, if I don't get this one thing -- if I don't grasp onto God and hold on with every ounce of my strength -- then nothing else matters. Then it's like the fine chandeliers on the Titanic. Then it's like choosing brushed nickel knobs for the pine cabinets of a state-of-the-art kitchen in a house built on a seismic fault.
"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" Mark 8:36.
I can afford to be careless about all the rest if I am taking exceeding care to seek Him and His righteousness.
