God is not a priority…
You must be thinking, “What?? How can you have a title like that?”
I was challenged today. A friend and co-worker shared devotions from Philippians. Paul was talking to the church and asking that they would exalt and magnify Jesus in everything they do in life. That leads to this question: Is God just a priority? In other words, does your “checklist of life” look like this:
- God. Check.
- Family. Check.
- Work. Check.
- Etc…check.
How often do we as followers of Christ make a list like this and then leave God at the top and forget about Him. We should be challenged to make our “checklist of life” look like this instead:
- God.
- God. Family.
- God. Work.
- God. Etc…
Our life should revolve around Him, He shouldn’t simply just be our top priority. Everything we do; love, life, work, play, hobbies, spare time, everything should revolve around magnifying Him and making His name known. We exist to make Him famous.
I’m glad I was challenged today.
Wow… I’ve never thought about it that way before. I’d like to hear more. Who led devotions? By the way, Ryan C. did a great chapel for the middle schoolers yesterday about “magnifying” God. I got to go because the 5th graders didn’t come for lessons because of something they were doing in class.

Ryan did do devotions this morning. It really hit me that instead of making God the first in a list of items to check off, that He would integrate into every item of life. Each activity revolves around honoring Him.
