Priority

I have realized that Satan makes it his priority to keep me from my priorities. I know it's what he is all about...but HOW DARE HE?!!! I have enough trouble saying 'no' to people, schedules & things that I sure don't need him helping me along. He works his hardest to just bog me down with 'things' with the one goal of keeping me from my God. He doesn't want me to spend any time with Him. He wants me to forget what my true purpose is here on this earth.

My biggest struggle has always been to just 'be still'. I truly love spending time with my Lord. BUT...finding the time in the busyness of life makes it hard. Or should I say...making time.
That's it!!! I need to make time. Jesus said in Mark 6:31, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." He, himself, always found time to be apart with His Father. It's been said, "If you don't 'come apart for a little while,' then you might 'fall apart for a long while.'

Priorities. I MUST set godly priorities for myself. Then, and only then, will I conquer the enemy and what he is trying to take from me. I don't think that most of my choices are wrong - or sin. They just might be something that is happening at the wrong time for me. I need to be cautious that the 'eternal' is my priority. The things of this world are only 'temporal' and therefore need to fall down the line of importance.

What am I filling my time with? My life is busier that it has ever been. So shouldn't I be spending more time with my Lord? Or at least making my time with Him even more of a priority than ever before?! With 3 young children a mother has so much on her plate. I am finding that in order to have my Priority right I must say "no" sometimes. I must put Him first in order to keep my children in order. And when they are in order they see my Priority. When this is accomplished they may set their own Priority for their little lives.

How dare Satan? NO....How dare I allow it to continue to happen when I know what I must do.

Be still and make time for my Jesus.
