Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, come on a magical trip with me, put on your imagination glasses and read with me!
I am a semi-organized person I guess you would call it. In my closet you will find pants all together, tanks, dresses, quarter length shirts, etc. But what you will find when you look at my closet 2 to 3 months down the road is everything in a different order. Instead of pants being first you will see them last. I like to give all my clothes a chance of being in the front so I can see all of them. I guess after watching Toy Story it just made me think and (even though clothes didn’t talk in the movie) every since then I have always done that with my clothes. But seriously, you know that if you didn’t move your clothes around, you would forget what you had and clothes with tags would still be in the back of the closet.
As I was thinking about why I do this, I began to think about how we walk out our Christian life. We all have good intentions of putting God first. But then we swap God without even thinking about it because it either gets mundane/boring or we want to give other people more attention then we give God because its more exciting. We may not even realize it because it can happen so fast. Sometimes we get so caught up in order and reorganizing things and making it fit, that we forget what should be the first.
So if my clothes could talk, I think that they would all want to be the first in the closet because that is what I would pull out first. But isn’t that the same with God—He wants to be first so He is the first thing we call on? Think about it. What’s the first thing in your life?
