There is No Number Two     

I honestly felt that I heard the Lord speak that phrase to me—When God is number one, there is no number two. It started to make sense to me that as long as I had a list of priorities, I’d have to leave my first priority to do the second, and so on. This new insight implied I could only serve God. I guess that’s logical. But the implications were life-changing, as I had to learn how those things could become a part of my service to God. All of those things were to be an offering to Him.

Every area of my life must be part of my worship of God Himself. If there’s a part of my life that cannot be an expression of my love for God, it shouldn’t be in my life. This change in perspective didn’t change my practice as much as it changed my confidence that I was delighting God’s heart. I always made family first. But what I didn’t realize was how much God was being loved through my love for my wife and children.

What does your list of priorities look like? Have you been successful in incorporating God into each one?
