Priorities

With the beginning of the new year I decided to look back and to ponder how I have lived my life as a christian and do a check up. What I have come to the realization of is that I have not put God in His proper place and I think I am in the ranks of most Christians.

In this day and age every thing is hurry, hurry, hurry, and no time for anything. We there fore neglect the things God would have us do and we push Him to the side until we get in trouble or need help in some way. We don’t take the time to realize that He must be first in our lives and that there is no room for anything else to be first. We try so hard to make the things of this world so important that we don’t have time to read our Bible or to pray like we ought.

I think Jim over at “standing in the gap” puts what I am saying into a better perspective than what I have said so far.

What we need to do is slow down, put God back to being first in our lives and pick up the Bible, blow the dust off of it and seek His guidance, and to pray the effectual, fervent prayers that we should be doing.
