In this day and age, it’s too easy to prioritize God right out of one’s life. There’s so much push to get people to forget values and beliefs they were raised with and to accept the new ‘culture, new ideas about morals, standards and conduct’. It was C. S. Lewis that spoke of the slippery slope to hell. God is clear in the Bible about those who forget God and also forget what He stands for.
The words of the Preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem (Ecclesiastes 1:1). That would be Solomon, the wisest man who indulged and had access to everything that life could offer. Besides saying that all on this earth is vanity, he also said, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shall say, I have no pleasure in them (Ecclesiastes 12:1).”
The day is coming when the dust will return to the earth (v. 7). Adam and Eve forgot and helped themselves to the fruit. God cursed the ground they stood on and warned them (Genesis 3:19) they would return to the very dust they were created from. Don’t forget God.
Add Him to your plan book. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, make Him your first thought. Strive to be among those counted in Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.”
