I talked with a family that complained there is not enough time
to do all the things
they not only would like to do
but need to do.
The thing is . . . when asked . . . they could not define their number one priority.
It is time to go back to the basics . . .
we must put first things first.
Jesus said it:
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you"(Matthew 6:33, NASB).
Before we do anything else . . . we seek God first . . . if we believe God is the number one priority.
We fail to seek God first when we have disengaged from the presence of God.
Jesus spoke to a crowd that refused to believe they were in the presence of God:
The crowd answered Him, You are possessed by a demon! [You are raving!] Who seeks to kill You?
Jesus answered them, I did one work, and you all are astounded. (John 7:20-21, Amplified)
Do you believe God is present?
Do you believe God is your number one priority?
Stop.
Become aware of the presence of God.
Determine to seek God first as your number one priority.
Commit to prioritizing the time you are given . . . seek God first.
Learning with you to prioritize,
Kerrie
