My broadcasting class is about to start, in about three minutes, but my teacher isn’t in the lab yet and my pronunciation quiz should be very easy, so I think I’ll take a few moments to write.

I am not going to lie:  today has been a difficult day.  It has been an emotionally difficult day.  The weather has been on and off, and the bus routes are slow.  I had a math test I think I failed, and I have been unable to focus.  I didn’t have a quiet time this morning and ever since it has felt like the day is out of whack.

Ultimately that is what I have pinpointed as the issue.  Because I didn’t start the day out with God every hour has been a battle between myself and Him.  I don’t want to make wrong decisions but they seem to come so naturally.  My attitude inclines to be “I’m on a roll of bad decisions — why not one more?” 

I agree with Paul’s lament:  “Oh wretched man that I am!  Who will rescue me from this body of death?”  I am in between my own selfish desires and the ones I know God wants me to pursue.  I can’t know the ones God wants me to pursue until I seek His face… and this morning, I didn’t take the time to do that.  I slept in.  Priorities, you know.

Don’t let God be in between your daily duties.  Make Him the first priority or the day just won’t follow the order it was supposed to go — after all, He made the day; shouldn’t He be king of it?
