Growing up I was always taught about the priorities of a Christian. Here's how it looks:

1. God
2. Wife/Family
3. Work

I've also heard other phrases like, "Keep God first in your life and the rest will fall into place."

The problem with this is that it encourages compartmentalization. You know what I mean. God has His time on these days or at this time during the day, family has their time, and work has it's time at such and such a time.

You can't compartmentalize God. What I mean is that God operates on an entirely different spectrum than itemizable priorities like family and friends and work. It is definitley possible to give friends their due time and then move to something different to focus on that and give it its time. But God doesn't work that way.

As best as I can understand it, Christians are to honor God in every area of life. That means I am to glorify Him when I'm spending time with my family just as much as when I'm in church. Actually, interacting with my family in appropriate ways is glorifying God. That is worship. Working hard at my job is glorifying God. Spending my money wisely is worship. 

God is not my #1 priority. He's the only priority.
