Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series,

put first things first.

Our number one priority in life should be spending time with God.

When and how we spend time with Him looks different for everyone.

An easy place to start is waking up and simply saying,

Good morning God. Now here's joy. to start is waking up and simply saying,

good morning God.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Now, when God showed this scripture to me,

gave me an example, I had an uncle at the time

who's since gone home to be with the Lord and he had a pacemaker and this was in the

initial days of pacemakers and he had to charge his pacemaker once a week because if he didn't his heart would stop beating.

And so I called my aunt one day and I said Dave and I would like to take you guys out for a steak dinner on Saturday.

Can you go and she said

no honey we can't go Saturday your uncle has to charge his pacemaker I said well can he

do that another day?

gone this is a great example because this is the way we are with God. You plan to spend

time with God and a friend calls and ask you to go shopping and you're like, oh yeah I can do

that so you put God off till another day.

Come on now I'm talking to you this morning.

And she got offended.
