I was cleaning my room one Saturday morning when I had noticed I had a few books on the floor, but they were stacked. It wasn’t the fact they were on the floor that made me think and question where my life was at. It was the fact that my Bible was on the bottom of my work out log and my planner. Now I realize people stack books biggest on bottom and smallest on top, but that wasn’t my case. I had realized that my books were in the order of my importance. Notice the first books were about me, and then there’s Gods word on the bottom. Why? Because I had put God there.
Matthew 6:19-21
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Stopping in my tracks I stared at the books knowing what book should of been on top. It wasn’t intentional but it was definitely eye opening to the way I’ve been living my life. I had put my desires and plans above what God has for me.
Psalm 37:4
“Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

This is something I have realized lately. Everything else has become the priority. Thanks for this.

It’s a consistent reminder for myself. I get too caught up in projects and then boom they fall apart because I’m not always letting God be first.

That is so interesting. When I was a little girl my grandfather, who was a preacher, emphasized that the Bible should always be on the top of a stack of books… and that’s a habit I still observe. I know it’s kinda silly, but I guess it’s a way of showing respect or something.

I remember a poem from my childhood about a dusty Bible. This made me think of that. May it never be so. A good reminder for us to consider our priorities.

Ah, honesty! It is wonderful that you wrote a short reflection on this. It inspires all of us to take a second look at how our priorities are stacked.
