As I sit in God's gorgeous creation, I get teased by my little sister.
"Maddie, all you do I talk about Shawn Mendes."
I instantly was hurt. And the reason why? It hit way to close to home for my comfort. What happened to Maddie who was on fire for Christ and nothing else?
I was offended and so I sat her down to talk to me. Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to her. I do know more about Shawn than I know about Jesus and God. I do want to listen to a Shawn song or scroll through his Twitter instead of reading my Bible.
I want with all of my heart to get back on God's path for my life and not let some teenage boy who will never know my name ruin that. And this year I've succeeded in that a little. I'm no where near perfect. I mess up all the daggone time. I put things before Christ way more than I should. I mean, all of this will be gone when we go Home, right? What's the point of putting material things first when it'll all just fade away?
But I'm sick of that. God will and always will be from this exact moment on, my first priority. If Shawn tweets and I'm about to sit down and do my Bible study, I will NOT pick the phone up. Instead I will completely shut it down and read more of the Bible. Wattpad will be limited to after I have done everything I have to do, including reading a few passages in my Bible and doing my bible study.
The first thing I bring up in a random conversation will be about the amazing Lord and Saviour in Heaven and how he saved me and has changed my life. My life is getting back on track. Starting right now.
Thank you, almighty, gracious God for opening my closed eyes! I'll from now on put you before any material thing or person on this Earth, for it is all temporary. Thank you again, in Your name I will always pray, amen.
1st Corinthians 15:28
When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
