Amos 5:6

Seek the Lord (search diligently) for Him and long for Him as your essential need) so that you may live, or He will rush down like a (devouring) fire, O house of Joseph.  

We can have many time wasters in our life that take our focus away from God.  They may, for the most part, be good except for when it becomes the single focus.  When we place God first, and as our essential need, we focus on Him daily.  As we keep Him as the center of focus, we invite God into our lives and listen for His direction.  A close relationship with God is one of the most beneficial that we can have.
