Most of us don't intentionally push God to the margins.
It happens slowly.
One distraction at a time.
One busy season at a time.
One competing priority at a time.
Jesus said: "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness..."
— Matthew 6:33 (NASB)
Notice He didn't say seek Him when it's convenient. He didn't say seek Him after everything else is finished. He said seek Him first.
The challenge is that many of the things competing for first place are not bad things.
Work.
Family activities.
Sports.
News.
Social media.
Endless distractions.
And if we're not careful, God receives whatever time is left over.
The problem is not always rebellion.
Sometimes it's misplaced priority.
What consistently gets first place in your life eventually shapes the direction of your life.
