what's so bad about God?

Jeremiah 2:5 "This is what the lord says 'what fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves."

Reading that got me to thinking, what's so bad about God that we can't put him first all the time? He gave us everything, and we still put something else before him. Alls God wants is for us to put him first before anything else; he longs to spend time with us and he longs for us to talk to him. The funny thing is, when he is number one, all the other priorities fall into place and it's easy for him to be number one.

I'm perfectly guilty in the past of not having God always be first. I've tasted what it's like not to have him be my number one, and I never want to go back to that again. He comes to me with nothing but grace and love every time I mess up or make a mistake. He saved my life, he is all deserving of being put first.

Yah, that's why I've been trying to make the focus of my summer to focus more on him. It's difficult, but I've found it's always rewarding when you pull through!
