In my day-to-day activities I find it difficult to keep God in my
mind. So many times I get wrapped up in the things I need to get done that
God is the farthest thing from my mind. My goal is to put the kingdom of God
first in my life, but at the end of each day I find I have missed the mark
by miles.
One morning I asked God what I could do for Him that day. I
figured I could at least accomplish one thing that would put God first. His
answer to me was that I should do everything for Him! How can I do
everything for Him? What does He care about vacuuming the rug? What does He
care about how clean I get our clothes? But, when I think about it, if I do
everything for Him that means I will do things the way He wants, I will do
things in His name, and I will not do anything in a thoughtless or sloppy
manner.
If I am doing things for Him, He will be in the forefront of my mind. I
am still struggling with this, but by making more time to listen to God,
reading the Bible more, and praising Him more I have found I am more easily
able to keep Him and His kingdom in my mind more often throughout each day.
I have more joy. I have more peace. Praise God!
