"Look at all the pretty things that steal my heart away I can feel I'm fading. 'Cause Lord I love so many things that keep me from your face. Come and save me." Really, think about those lyrics. I know for a fact that I'm not the only person that can relate to that. We get so distracted from God and sometimes we even block him out. One thing I know for sure that gets in the way of my view of God is my friends, but more specifically my youth group. A genius friend of mine mentioned that to us. She said I quote (from a tweet) "Its too often that I put the people in my life on a higher pedestal than God, the one who put them there in the first place." I mean God put the things in our life, why are we worshiping them (the things) more than the God, the one that put them there? I mean its normal for things to get in the way of our view of God, we are only human of course, but we need to make sure it happens less often. God should always be the one on the pedestal, not other people or other things.
I guess I've just been doing that in my life too much lately, and I just wanted to share. God is my #1 in my life, but sometimes I, unfortunately, put other things in front of him. Take a listen to the Tenth Avenue North song, really listen to the lyrics.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." -Matthew 6:33
