More God

If you want MORE God then you are going to have to clear out some stuff to make room for Him. So often we want to give God our leftovers, our leftover time, space, money, heart, love, you name it. He is not interested in our leftovers. He wants EVERYTHING. When we make way to give Him everything we get much more than we gave. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. This does not speak of a few things or some things but all things. If we seek money before God we may get money but we end up with neither. When we seek God and His kingdom first we get all of the extras. He will supply our needs, He will give us some of our wants, we must be willing to put God first in all we do. We often have things in the way, things which take the place of God in our lives and we :pull out" the real God when we get in trouble. Things like; television, movies, music, video games, shopping, dating, the internet, all get in the way. I am not telling you that you can no longer engage in these activities but I will suggest you take a close look at your priorities. If you are not putting God first then you may as well not include Him in your life at all. Allow me to validate what I am saying in that I am involved in a ministry and we pray 20-30 hours a week in addition to our own quiet time with God. Do you need that much time for prayer? Well if you can find it, you'd be surprised how much t.v. you watch, then I would say yes, do it. The more things we get rid of, the more space we make for God, the more God we will have in our lives.

as I continue in this blog I will touch on many ways to get more of God and less of you. Thanks for reading.
