What are your priorities?

This is a perfect time of year to reevaluate your own personal priorities.  How do you know what you have made a priority?  What is it that you spend the most time thinking about and doing?  Hopefully your family and your job are at the top of your list and hopefully they are in that order.  What about God where does He fit into your day.  God says in His commandments to us that we are to put no other gods be for Him.  What are you turning into your gods?  Anything that we turn to for comfort or when we are stressed instead of turning to the one that can truly give us comfort and peace can be our substitute gods.  Why are we so foolish to not use what is readily available for us and we look for a substitute when the genuine article is there for the asking.  Maybe we should start our day with God and develop a habit of finding his guidance at the beginning of our day so that when we get stressed we are in the habit of turning to him rather than some other source of comfort.  In God’s word He ask for the first 10% for a tithe and often we think of only money but what if we started tithing of our and spent the first 10% with him.  I know that might be difficult but maybe on your way to work you could listen to a Christian radio station instead of the secular stations.  I promise you that you will find a positive message on those stations so that you can start you day on a much brighter note than before.   I listen to Life Today and Joyce Meyer on television while I am getting ready for work and I listen to Christian music while I am exercising in the morning and turn my morning into a time of worship for God.  I believe that if I spend that time in the morning with Him that He will bless my day and watch over me as I try to do His will for my life.  Let me issue you a challenge to spend more time developing a personal relationship with God.  That is why we were created and you will find a whole new peace that the world or anything of the world will never be able to give you.
