If you're tuning in on my blog, yesterday I posted about a new bible study/devotional that my boyfriend and I have started. Its titled "Devotions for dating couples" and is guided towards long lasting/engaged couples looking to better their relationship with God together, as well as their relationship together with God as their foundation. I have enjoyed the first three days so far.
Day 3's main goal asked us to make sure that we have a daily "quiet time" set up with God- for prayer and worship, and i realized that I am doing that already by involving myself in this daily devotional and by starting and ending my day in prayer. It posed a question: "How often do I talk with God?" and I realized that I do not do this as often as I should, which is a bit humiliating... God has not been my main focus. Honestly, my relationship with my boyfriend has seemed to come first and the closeness I had with God was dwindling. That is something I am going to work out in the days ahead; getting my relationship with God back on track, loving Him first and foremost, with everything I have. That doesn't mean my relationship with my boyfriend needs to be less than it is, by any means. We, together, just need to set God as our foundation,and all will be well again! Our love for eachother should not come before the love we have for God.
The first commandment says "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind." God must always come first, in everything.
