Putting God First

Not enough time in the day
To do the things you need to do?
Your priorities are out of whack.
Consider placing God's demands
Before other people's and your own.
Think of Christ Jesus, someone
Who was never flurried or hurried,
Who was always on time for healing.
Why was this, do you think?
Could one reason have been,
"I do always those things
     that please him."?
        (John 8:29)
A holy example, this,
But something all can shoot for.
Even the willingness to pray,
May this day be lived the way,
You dear Father, know is best
Will begin adjusting circumstances
As only He can do.
There will then be enough time
For Him -- first don't forget --
And time enough for you.
