Always Out God First In Your Life... ... ...

Always Put God First In Your Life………..

 

There was a boy who was very popular among others his age. He was an excellent leader in his school groups. One of his friends visited him and saw a homemade plaque in his room with the words "I Am Third" on it. His friend asked him what it meant and he replied, "It is the motto I try to use in my life. It means "God is first, others are second, and I am Third.'" The driving force in our lives should be trying to please God. Secondly, we should take into consideration the needs and pleasures of others. With our own pleasures subordinated, we will truly be the humble servants of God. By giving respect to the Creator of the universe, and knowing His love, you will begin to feel an overflow of dignity and respect for yourself and others. Putting Him first in all areas of your life will create a healthy and positive sense of respect, which is what really makes the world go round. When you do this, it restores order to your world. God first – then you. As it says in the Bible, "God will honor those who honor Him."

 

Promise for the Day: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
