Who's Seating On It?

230309: Recently I took a picture of an empty seat while travelling to work. Slightly 3 inches above the seat wrote "PRIORITY SEAT", as I was looking into the photo that I took, a thought came to me... Every Living creature has a "priority seat" in their life, to some people, "promotion", "wealth" or maybe "health" seats on it , yet for some of them could be "study", "family' or "earning a living" that are seating on it.. But how or what about God then? When we were younger where we do not have much, God is our everything, we will find ourselves praying & reading the bible everyday, going to church to queue up before service starts, tithe whenever we receive our allowance and it is obvious that God seats on that "priority seat" of ours but when we grow older, as committment starts to build up, we tends allow it to share our "priority seat" with God and perhaps for some of us, God is no longer seating on it, instead seating on it are our "career", "spouse", "latest car", "kids", etc.. When this happen, coming to church is no longer a "want" but an "option"... "oh maybe I should excuse myself this week for service because I have housework that need to be done", "oh probably I should go picnic with my son's friends' parents and miss cg this week", "maybe I'll not tithe this month as I need to make down payment for my new car". My fellow viewers and friends, God doesn't just want to be the "number one" in your life but also the "only one" that seats no that "priority seat" of ours ...
