I am, so often, crushed and broken by the things of this world that I find my grasp on the truth slipping. The truth that God loves us wants us to serve one another in His presence. Jesus did not come to rule over the earth as a king in the world's eyes. He came to teach and preach and set an example for us to follow. How often do we follow that example in our hustle and bustle life?
Forgiveness is all I can beg, because I am guilty of ignoring His calling and His teaching 99.9% of the time. My mind is clouded by the demands of this world and I allow them to draw me away from where I need to be headed. The Lord has to get my attention over and over again when in truth - my attention should never waver from Him.
"...seek ye first the kingdom of God and these others things will added to you..." comes to mind. GOD FIRST. Everything else after that. Stop and think about that for a moment... How often do we put God first in our lives?
Who is the first person that you speak to in the morning?
Who is the first person that you call and rejoice with when something good happens?
Who is the first person that you ask for help?
Who is the first person that you call on for healing?
Who is the first person that you share your troubles with?
Who is the first person that you thank for helping you?
If we put Jesus first then we are beginning to put our lives in the the proper order. A life ordered by God is a life that is worth living. It is a life that will bear fruit. It is a life that will take us all the way through eternity.
Let's put Him first today. Have a blessed day!
