Recently I have had so many thoughts running through my mind, that I have had a hard time focusing on God. I know that He is number one in my life, but sometimes it's hard for me to remember to put Him first.
Last night, I enjoyed going to a concert by Casting Crowns and Tenth Avenue North. Not only was it awesome to see them perform live, but I felt God's presence so much while I was there. They informed the crowd that they went and prayed over every aisle before their performance. At one point during the event, Mark Hall had us pray, and requested that we lay all of or burdens at Jesus' feet.
Not realizing the burden I had on my chest, I started talking to God. As the words started tumbling, I was caught by the realization that I had not been giving God the attention he deserved from me. Sure, I pray to Him everyday, but I haven't been laying my burdens at His feet every night as I should.
There are so many things in my life that would not be the way they are, if it weren't for God. He has completely changed my life, and deserves my full attention. My life is so empty without Him, and utterly meaningless. He is the life that lives in me, the reason I breathe.
It's difficult for me to remember to give all of my concerns to God, but even harder would be my future. It not only holds my life, but it defines the very essence of who I will become. God has let me know exactly what He wants me to do, and I, in return, have had a hard time giving Him my consent.
Right now, I am at the point where I am learning to give it all to Him. I have let my thoughts take over my mind, to the point where I have put Him on the back burner. He is my number one, and I love Him with all of my heart.
In everything you do , put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success. Proverbs 3: 5-6 TLB
