“Maybe Later” How many times have we thought those words? Or even said those words? Funny how life seems to just take over and slap us in the face! We get so consumed with everyday tasks – the kids, dinner, work, ect….and we really mean well.  I know that because I am the number one person guilty of “Maybe Later.” I feel like I wake up everyday ready to talk to God. Most days I start off my day with a quick conversation with him before I even get out of bed. However, I then plan to make quality time alone with Him and somehow have the hardest time making that happen. Let’s face it good intentions just aren’t enough. God wants us to put Him first, not “Maybe Later.” If you’re like me, you want to give Him the time He deserves, but other things creep up along the way and jump in front of all those good intentions. This is seriously the simplest of lessons to learn, yet seems to be the hardest to overcome.  When Matthew 6:33 says “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”, clearly we see we are to seek Him first! It doesn’t get any plainer than that. When I was a teenager and my mom would ask me to do something for her and I would say, “Ok I’ll do it later” that was her biggest pet peeve.  How much more do you think it feels to our God and Creator when we keep putting Him on the back burner.  All the good intentions in the world don’t mean anything compared to 20 min in prayer or reading His Word. He simply wants us to show Him that we care enough to put him before anything else. Thomas Jefferson has a famous quote that everyone knows – “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” I think that he had a full understanding of how dangerous “Maybe Later” can be. Again, I am preaching to myself here, but I think that we all need to be encouraged and reminded that He should be first.
