This morning was no different than any other. Woke up, made coffee, then sat making a list for todays projects. I make lists. I have "to do" lists, "been done" lists, "ain't gonna do list," I have them all. I love checking things off the lists. I love doing and adding to the list. It's a crazy cycle. Do you do it? Accomplish more, so you can just do more accomplishing? I drive myself crazy with priority list. But you know what I realized? The more I put on my list, the further I pushed God to the bottom. We get up in the morning and we rush around getting as much done as we can on our list for the day. Pretty soon we are going so fast, God is way down the list, and sometimes God is not even on the list. What does God think about all this? You know what I think? I think He grieves. I think I grieve God when I go so fast. I know I grieve God when I shove Him down the list. So, you say, "ok.. Is there a point?" Glad you asked. You may expect me to say "ok.. folks. Let's all make a list. God at top, then family, church, work, etc." But you know what? I don't think God likes that list. You know what I think God wants our list to look like? I don't think God wants to be #1 on a list of 10; He wants to be #1 on a list of 1. And all else should flow from that list.
