Listen to God
We believe so many things absolutely have to be done, and, in addition, we do so many things because they are prompted by our secret motives, that our days and lives are too short.
It does not follow that one first should fulfill his duty, then satisfy his own desires, and finally the time that remains listen to God.
Generally not much time is left.
It should be the other way around: First listen to God and place in His hands our entire lives.
Only then will we be able to correctly apportion our time.With God, the person always comes first and, after that, things.
Everything, even the sabbath, exists for the sake of humankind.
