Do you seek to know God more than you seek to know about your wife?
Do you know more about cars than you know about God?
Do you spend more time in the television than in the Word of God?
Do you seek to please your boss more than you seek to please God?
Do you spend more money in games than you spend for God's work?
It is obvious that if you know more about sports, your skills in sports, your favorite athletes and champions, than you know about God, then you have not been spending time with knowing God and you have been spending a lot more time in magazines, websites, television shows to know MORE about your sport.
Of course you spend a lot more time with your spouse and kids than any other. But in spending time with them you can spend time with God while with them. You can teach them about Christ and that means you should study Christ before you can teach them about Him. The end result is seeking more about God than your kids and your wife.
Of course you must know your trade, your chosen field, your career, because it is where your bread and butter comes from. But in each instance you can seek to know how God will bless, if you are in the right relationship with God while on the job, if you are doing the right thing in your decisions in business, if you are seeking to please men rather than God, and you can be more appreciative of the LORD GOD as you meet each challenge with success because it is He who gives you power to get wealth.
