My 30-Day "Put God First Test" is an experiment. I was working so much for my job that it was keeping me up late into the night most nights. It was exhausting and it was taking all of my time with the Lord. So I have decided to stay diligent at work but stop working late into the night so I can get up early and spend time with the Lord daily. So no matter how loud my job is screaming I'll spend time with God and seek him- trusting that he will help and bless my job. My relationship with the Lord is too important to neglect.
First test week findings:
1.) I really enjoyed spending time with the Lord, I'm still tweaking the morning scheduling.
2.) It was nice to purposely be trusting God with my business in a sacrificial way that honored him and involved him.
3.) No disasters happened at work from me not working until the wee hours of the night.
4.) I'm not as caught up as I'd like to be but I did have some remarkably successful customer calls where things went in our direction - I believe 4 of them.
5.) I had only a little time to work on my Web Project but did fix a couple of problems- traffic on that site is still very low.
6.) Overall I have a great sense of peace, confidence, and partnership with the Lord and I know I am on the right track. One week is not enough to make a judgment about this but even with a week I find this to be something that is making changes in me, helping me some in business, and helping me to be close to God.
Bible Passage:
Psalm 53 - this is what spoke to me in my Psalm of the day:
2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.(NKJV)
You can clearly see from verse 2 above that God is searching for people to seek him. God wants you and me. He desires you and me. He is searching to see if anyone understands- who seek God. Apparently it takes understanding to know its crucial to seek God. Lets pray for understanding-- and lets take the time to seek God!
Let's GO God!
