There is a lot to do. From the moment we wake up life demands a lot from us.
• Your job needs you to be on time.
• Your children need to be taken care of.
• Your partner needs your time and affection.
• Your friends need your advice.

Everyone and everything are fighting for the first spot on your priority list. These days with so much to do, it’s easy to lose sight of our priorities. Let’s see what the Word of God recommends:
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
First place is an important spot to hold and what we decide to put first will set the course for the run of our life. This is why the Bible encourages us to seek God first. Not because the other things in our life aren’t important; but because things will only well as a consequence of putting God first.
Our days will always be busy but whatever separates you from God is not of God. Soon, that thing which has taken over first place will begin to subtract from your life instead of adding to it. However, when God takes first place, He adds peace, a happy family, a good relationship and everything else that you need.
When we put God in first place, He makes sure that we always come out on top.
How does your priority list look?
May the God of the Bible bless you,
Bishop Joshua Fonseca
