Quote from George Muller (taken from Desiring God):

While i was staying at Nailsworth, it pleased the Lord to teach me a truth irrespective of human instrumentality, as far as i know, the benefit of which i have not lost, though now... more than forty years have since passed away.

The point is this: i saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which i ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concernedabout as not, how much i might sere the Lord, how i might glorify the Lord; but how i might be nourished. For i might seek to set the truth before the unconverted, i might seek to benefit believers, i might seek to relieve the disstressed, i might in other ways seek to behave myself as it become a child of God in this world; and yet, not being happy in the Lord, and not being nourished and strengthened in my inner man day by day, all this might not be attended to in a right spirit.

Before this time my practice had been, at least for ten years previously, as an habitual thins, to give myself to prayer, after having dressed in the morning. Now i saw, that the most important thing i had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed; and that thus, whilst meditating, my heart might be brought into experimental, communion with the Lord. i began therefore, to meditate on the New Testament, from the beginning, early in the morning.

The first thing i did, after having asked in a few words the Lord's belssing upon His precious Word, was to begin to meditate on the Word of God; searching, as it were, into every verse, to get blessing out of it; not for the sake of the public ministry of the Wordl not for the sake of preaching on what i had meditated upon; but for the sake of obtaining food for my own soul. The result i have found to be almost invariably this, that after a very few minutes my soul has been led to confession, or to thanksgiving, or to intercession, or to supplication; so that though i did not, as it were, give myself to prayer, but to meditation, yet it turned almost imeediately more or less into prayer.

What is the first thing we do when we wake up in our life? Is it our homework? Is it our family chores? Or is it a time with the Lord?
We see clearly from the previous post on God's promise of His word and the value of His word in our life.
When we are busy, we think God will understand so that we attend our own tasks first.
When we are free, we think God will understand so that we go on to relax and entertain ourselves.
Is it wrong to think so? Maybe and maybe not.

We all face struggles in everyday. It is really not easy as everything else seem so important that we cannot spend time to stop and carefully think through to weigh the values.
Do our career, work, social activities, entertainment really that important? When we come before God after death, which of that we can use to prove our loyalty to His lordship?

You decide.
