You have a priority in your life maybe you're the only person who knows what
it is but you have a priority in your life and the question is this
do you value your relationship with Jesus Christ enough to make him
time alone with him the number one priority in your life is he that valuable to you
is he that important to you where does he rank in your life does he rank number one is he number
two number three number four number five is he down so far in the list on your time your energies
your interest your love your devotion that you can't figure exactly where he fits
where is Jesus in your priority list number one priority in our life is our time we spend
alone with him now I want you to listen very very carefully the most important thing in your life
in my life today tomorrow next month next year every year to the moment we die is our personal
intimate relationship with him with Christ the the number one priority in our life is to be
that time we spend along with him now watch this it isn't because we just need him
he wants us he desires our love and he and he desires to spend time alone with us
the bible says over and over again what's the first commandment you
shall love the Lord with all your heart with all your mind with all your soul
what does it say about Jesus Christ that he might have first place in everything he can't be second
he cannot be second it means
that you have to find time for him when you have time for other things
and that may mean I have to get up a little earlier for you to be first with my day
so he's waiting on you to meet with him every day every day I don't care how stormy
your circumstances are I don't it doesn't make any difference how
difficult the situation is and what's going on in your life and who's on your case you know what
when you get along with him it is absolutely amazing how he can quieten your spirit shut out
everything else in the world and it's just you and him that will quieten your spirit
you see so many people's God is so confined you're listen your view of God begins to get
larger and larger greater and greater bigger and bigger when you begin to see how he begins to work
in your life now he is working situations and circumstances in the future that you can't even
figure out and you come to that point in your life or that time or that decision and you see how God
has worked at every single detail already now we don't know what tomorrow holds none of us do
and so we can't predict the future and we can't make decisions today that affect the future
and so we have to make decisions today that affect today and so we have to trust God for tomorrow
and so we don't know when the storms are coming when the floods are coming
but here's what I know for certain when you and I spend time with him
you see he says he's like a refuge he's like he's like a fortress uh he he he's like a rock
upon which we stand he he's our hiding place spending time with him oftentimes prepares us
so quietens our soul that we are ready when something comes that would normally blow people
off course that does not affect us because why because we know who is in control of our lives
is Jesus first now watch this
as you look at the way you spend your time is he first the way you spend your money is he first
in your relationships is he first
and then if you're wise enough to make him number one in relationship and every aspect
of your life you watch God transform you in a way that you would never begin to imagine
one thing I know for certain you never lose making him number one
