I read it and immediately realized the truth in it. “Jesus says that the great care of the life is to put the relationship to God first, and everything else second.” I’m guilty. I’ve spent more time contemplating my next career move and how to plan a fabulous autumn event than I have spent seeking first the kingdom of God.
“Honesty leads to confession, and confession leads to change.” (The Celebration of Discipline).
I confess that often times, God is not first, second, or third. I sing the words to a song, “In all the world there is none but thee, my God, there is none but thee.” Sometimes my heart wanders and my attitude follows close behind.
I have to make this relationship a dominating concentration in my life. I see what I am when I am not as I should.
And then I begin to live on memories.
The word of God must be always living and active in me.
