Put God First

MATTHEW 22:37-38 NKJ 37 Jesus said to him, “`You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment.

The most important command is to love God with all your being. As with all His commands, God does not give this for His benefit, but for your benefit. Putting God first will bless you, improving your life and well-being.

Loving people, while important, is only secondary according to Jesus. In practice – because God loves people – loving Him will result in you loving people also.

When you get your priority backward – putting people and their needs first – you miss God’s plan, and will be relatively ineffective in helping people – compared to what you could have been if you put God first.

MATTHEW 6:33 CEV 33 But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.

Determine to follow Jesus and obey Him. Don’t allow anything other than Jesus Christ to be your highest priority.

SAY THIS: My highest priority is God. I will put God first in my life.

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
