There are people who hear this test, and who say it is true, and
that they want to obey it. But if you were to ask them how much time they
spend with God day by day, you would be surprised and grieved to hear how
little time they give up to Him. And yet they wonder that the blessedness
of the divine life disappears. We prove the value we attach to things by
the time we devote to them. The Kingdom should be first every day, and all
the day. Let the Kingdom be first every morning. Begin the day with God,
and God Himself will maintain His Kingdom in your heart. Do believe that.
Rome did its utmost to maintain the authority of the man who gave himself
to live for it. And God, the living God, will He not maintain His authority
in your soul if you submit to Him? He will, indeed. Come to Him; only come,
and give yourself up to Him in fellowship through Christ Jesus. Seek to
maintain that fellowship with God all the day. Ah, friends, a man cannot
have the Kingdom of God first, and at times, by way of relaxation, throw
it off and seek his enjoyment in the things of this world.
