Make God Your Priority...

Has your relationship with God become convenient? Has it become too familiar?  Have you become accustomed to what you are giving to Him and in return what He is giving to you?  

Convenient - fitting in well with a person's needs, activities, and plans.
Familiar - commonly or generally known.

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek (aim or strive for) ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

In a conversation with a co-worker today, I intently listened to her for almost an hour discuss her accomplishments in life and how she is striving to attain success on a greater level by working many laborious hours, in an attempt to gain recognition for promotion.  However, throughout that discourse I was reminded of how we strive in so many other areas of our lives, but neglect to put forth that same time and energy in our relationship with God.  We will run ourselves ragged for a job and for family, but then are too "tired" to read our bibles, pray or even go to church.  I know that I've been found guilty.  

As she wrapped up her conversation, the above referenced scripture came to mind to share with her and in turn it blessed me.  If we would go after God the way we go after everything else that we desire, He said in His word that all the other stuff that we desire would be added unto us.  

Make God your priority!
