Spiritually Building

In life I, like most people, center my life around my very top priorities.  Granted, these priorities tend to change and move around.  For me, life is happiest and most successful when my top priority is God, who I believe to be my Creator and the Creator of all things.  Why is that?  Why is life sweeter when my center focus is God?  
I believe when God is at the top of my list I put my commitments to Him before all others.  It means I give him the most effective time I have to develop into who He wants me to be and serve who He wants me to serve.  
Now having said that, I realize I am not perfect at keeping Him as my top priority.  That's when other less important things take my focus and distract me from whats most important.  
I believe building a solid foundation in God will help me keep Him as my top priority.  This is my plan to further build this foundation:
  1. When making key decisions asking myself "Does this hold true to my commitments to God?"
  2. Pray & study His words in scripture and through modern day prophets every morning.
  3. Take time to listen to others where ever I meet them.
  4. Listen for promptings and opportunities to serve others.
  5. Take time to reflect on the day's experiences, things I've learned and felt.  
  6. Express gratitude to God and to others for what I receive each day.
The list is in beta form, so I hope to alter this plan as I recognize more things that will help me remember God and keep him in all that I do.

Make your own plan.  See how, over time, God will change your life.
