Our actions deceive us. Our actions demonstrate what is in our hearts. We live our priorities. Has any parent thought about asking the coach to change their day of practice, or time of practice, or the day of the event? Probably not, because that is more important.
Although there were some rather risque moments in the movie “Click” the best line in the movie was that you cannot lie to the remote control. Briefly, so you do not have to watch the movie, Adam Sandler’s character is given a “universal remote control” that controls his universe. Along the way, he tends to fast forward through parts of his life that he finds distracting and the remote control learns what is important and not important. In the end he realizes that he has been lying to himself and his family, but the remote control learned what was important and could not be fooled.
So, if your relationship with God is most important, and your family, and your faith life, then these are the things you make time for, these are the things for which you rearrange your schedule.
One of the important ingredients in any relationship is spending time together, especially in conversation with one another. Have you ever lost a friend because you failed in speaking to one another, not our of meanness, but because of a lack of a time commitment? The same can be true with our relationship with our Lord. For our own sake, we need to spend time in conversation with God, speaking to Him in prayer and allowing Him to speak to us through His Word (reading our Bibles).
What is important? You live what is important. You make time for what is important. You change your schedule to accommodate what is important.
New challenge, discern what is wrong with the following statement:
If I am saved, God gets the credit. If I am not saved, it is my own fault.
