Why is the principles of priorities so important? As Dr. Myles Munroe puts it: "Because if priorities are the essence of life, then we should want to know what our priorities in life should be so that we can live effectively." Would it surprise you to know that most of the people in the world are driven by incorrect priorities that occupy and control their entire lives.
In Dr. Munroe's book, Understanding Your Place in God's Kingdom, he mentions a study done by Abraham Maslow--a behavioral scientist and psychologist on human behavior. He concluded that all human behavior is driven by the same basic "hierarchy of needs":
Water
Food
Clothes
Housing
Protection
Security
Preservation
Self-actualization

Here is something else that I think you will find interesting... all have this in common.. that their primary focus is on the needs of the worshiper. Priorities in religious prayers and petitions are for personal needs. Human needs are what drives religion. Keep in mind, that most of what we call "faith" is nothing more than striving for the very things on Abraham Maslow has on his list.
