Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
God should be first in our lives. He is not an afterthought, he is our first thought. All that we do should be with an eye single to God. It may seem extreme and impractical to direct every habitual, mundane act towards God. But if we are doing things without understanding how they either serve God directly or enable us to serve him, we have good cause to challenge why we are doing them at all. We spend so much of our lives engaged in distractions!
This attitude is based on the following premises:
- God is real.
- God knows us.
- God cares about what we do and is willing to be involved in the details of our lives.
- God wants not only to save us but to exalt us.
If any element of this hypothesis is false, then eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die. But if these four assertions are true, we have far more in store for us in this life and the next than we can even imagine.
