Life never seems to have enough. Especially in this materialistic day and age. There's always one more thing to buy, one more person to see, one more place to go, one more degree to attain...
We never run out of things to do, have, think about. And as long as the world is in existence, things will always be. Unfortunately, in the middle of all the hoolabaloo that everyone's trying to hoard, there's one thing people are forgetting, or putting in the corner - God's presence.
Many times, in the process of having more, doing more, learning more, we forget the one thing we can't do without, or live without, that's God. Or at other times we take Him for granted. We often feel like, "Oh well, as long as I'm not sick, maimed, or somewhat demented, God's taking care of me", or "God sees me, He knows me, why bother?" So we pack all these things, and pull him out of the equation.
Unfortunately, God's the one thing we should start with. His presence is so essential and vital in our lives, we cannot do without it. It's the air we breathe, the bread we eat, it's everything in us. It's what we are. It's also very essential in our day-to-day planning. God can and wants to help us as we go on our daily activities. He wants to be with us as we laugh, cry, indulge, you name it, He wants to be with us in it.
God's presence is the one more thing, the one most important thing we cannot do without, and we have to have in the long run. So before you fill your life with all that clutter, the one more TV, one more cellphone, put the most important one-more in your life first- put God first.
