What happened was this:

Romans 1:16-17
...God's powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God's way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: "The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives."

I know this to be true. I (don't) see it everyday when I do or do not spend time with God. If I'm not putting Him first, things don't go to well with my relationships with others, especially my wife. But when I take the first part of my free time (like when I get home from work as I am doing today) and spend it with the Lord, I know that he will bless the rest of my evening.

Romans 1:18-32
But God's angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrong doing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand. So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them —the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!
Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it —emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches. Since they didn't bother to acknowledge GGod God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care —worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!

That comes from "The Message" translation. I really like this version cause it's really easy to understand and clasp what God is saying to me in His Word. But the above passage is important to me because it is so easy to put other things before God in your life. (I wanted to summarize the passage so to not take up so much room, but I loved it all. I wanted to share it all) Before you know it it, all you want to do is those earthly things that you really like, and it consumes your whole being! You'll never become fulfilled if He is not the most important part of your life. My relationship with Him is the key! Praise You God!!!
