In I Kings 6-7, Solomon is first found building the Lord a temple and then afterwords himself a palace. I believe Solomon's priorities were in the right place because he put the Lord's work first. Even though his palace took longer to build (13 years - 1 Kings 7:1) than the temple (7 years - 1 Kings 6:38), Solomon probably finished the temple quicker because of the urgency of needing God's house built first. Your work and workplace is very important to God. However, God's work should come before all. Make it your goal in life to be on God's mission (Matthew 28:19-20) first and foremost, whether you are at work, home, or play.
Jesus gave the Sadducees a quick tutorial on God while also revealing that in eternity, marriage and procreation will come to a full stop (Luke 20:34-36). Ever had the tables turned on you? Jesus does exactly this to the Pharisees when he poses them a question in 20:41 after having answered theirs (MacArthur Bible Commentary, 1323).
