Priorities

     Imagine you're about to get married. You wake up early that morning, and make sure everything goes as planned, but when you get ready to leave your house, you realize that you forgot to buy your dress. It's pretty hard to imagine, because, I don't know if that has ever happened. Ever. It says in Jeremiah 2:32. "Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet my people have forgotten me days without number."

     A lot of times, we get so wrapped up in our own lives, and we forget who our top priority should be. Sometimes, it is so easy to forget who we serve, and get wrapped up in our own lives, that we forget about God, and His importance in our lives. Sometimes, it's very easy to forget that if it weren't for Him, then we wouldn't even be here, not to mention the forgiveness of sins we receive once we're baptized. I'm not saying that everyone does this all the time, or that we should only ever think about God. We need time for ourselves too. Even Jesus had to rest, but what we shouldn't do, is forget who we serve, and put other things in front of obeying Him, which should never be the case.

     So, if a bride can't forget her wedding dress, then we should't forget God. We should always take time and remember who He is, and to pray to Him, and study His word, so we don't forget Him. So I encourage you, so you don't forget about God, to read at least a chapter of your Bible a day, and to really study it, and to set aside a certain time during the day to pray. You'd be surprised how good you'll feel when you're done, and, it's an easy way to remember who you serve. :)
