Making God A Priority
I can't tell you how many times in life as a Christian that I have failed at making God a priority. Sure, I attended church on a regular basis most of the time and I would pray sometimes but I would always let the things in my life that kept me busy as an excuse as to why I couldn't make spending time with Him at the top of my list. Excuses like, "The kids need me" or "I've done so much today with cleaning and running errands that I'm just too tired." But somehow, I was always finding a way to scroll on social media, watch tv, or just flat out being lazy. It wasn't until I would face a problem or a trial in my life that I would find myself praying and begging God to change my situation or do this or that for me. It wasn't until recently after years of falling in and out of church and some really heavy trials that I've to face the last few years that I decided I needed to make a change. I wasn't putting God first like I should have. When I made studying my bible, praying, and doing a daily devotion every morning to start my day and every night before going to bed I noticed that I wasn't as cranky each day with my kids and my mood was instantly better overall. It shifted my mindset each day and helped me to see things in a different perspective. It's not enough to just make God a priority one to two times per week with a church service, some worship and praise, and two sermons. You have to feed your soul daily and die to your flesh daily. I know life can be hectic with your job and daily duties but it's crucial to make spending time with God a priority. It definitely helps with keeping you on track and staying faithful in all aspects of your life. Make time today to spend time with God. I know He is always happy to hear from His children.
