It is a sad but true fact that most people do not make God a priority until their lives are so messed up that they see God as the last resort. I want to make God such a priority in my life that He is the first One I turn to when things are going badly in my life. Call the doctor when I am sick? Yes. But pray first. Call and talk things out when I am having a relationship issue? Yes. But pray first. In this era of instant gratification, it is easy to try to rush headlong into a situation without pausing to pray. I have found, through experience unfortunately, that when I don’t stop to pray, then I am more likely to regret whatever I have done in haste. Whenever we are feeling some kind of testing or opposition, our first resource should be to go to God. He has all of the answers. He may give the doctors wisdom or prepare the road for a smoother relationship with another person. Whatever, we don’t know what God can and will do until we ask Him…regularly and first.
