Set Your Priorities Right

Life is interesting. Many of you will agree with me that, God has a way of showing us things in the midst of daily life experiences.
It is by His grace that we can face tomorrow, do you agree with me? But many times we plan things for ourselves and we forget the things that concerns God.
In my mind I thought, We make time for the things we really want to do when it comes down to it, (it is all a matter of priorities). In all honesty, I felt a little hurt and I asked myself this question, if I have a friend and I can't make time for my friend every now and then, how important is the friendship? Is the relationship exist if we don't sacrifice time for each other?Later in the day, the thought came back into my mind. I prayed to God," Lord, I need to have fun sometimes because life is so intense with work and other businesses that I need a friend who can spend time with me and have fun."
Immediately, God answered me, "SO DO I MY DAUGHTER MARY, I need a friend who I can spend time with and have fun". It was an unexpected reply. Then, I realized that as we are His children, God expect us to be close to Him no matter how busy we are.Are you asking why?let me remind you of few things:
He is more than a friend to us,
He created us,
He strengthen us each day,
He cares so much for us,
He changes not and He never fail us.(Do you get my point now?)
We should stop giving the Lord the same excuses for not spending quality time with Him, because of being too busy. The day flies by and it is too late to take some quiet time. In the morning, it gets too rushed too often.Brethren, set your priorities right, if God is as important to you as you claim, you would want to spend time with HIM a whole lot more.
So there I am. I stand corrected by my own measuring rule as a child of God, to say,
"Lord I am sorry. I must really hurt you a lot with my constant excuses. Help me to change my priorities so You will know how important You are to me. I know You don't condemn me, but I sure want to please You and make You smile."Once again, in the midst of my busy life, the Lord took time to teach me something. Now it is time for me to act. Join me, let us get our priorities straight. We can use our bible to guide us (the word of God) and also, please be attentive to His still voice.
God bless you
