Put God First

What can I give back to God for the blessings He’s poured out on me. Psalm 116:12.

                   Giving first priority to God is the key to have God’s abundant life. Let us honor God with the first of our wealth. Everything we have is from God and so let us give back the best to God. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be overflowing and your vats will brim over with new wine – Proverbs 3:9,10.

                  In 2 Corinthians 8, we see that Macedonian churches gave generously to God though they were in great trial of affliction and deep poverty.  Not only they gave generously to God but they first gave themselves to the Lord. And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God – 2 Corinthians 8:5.

                   Let us first give ourselves to the Lord and seek Him first in everything. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you – Mathew 6:33. Give the first hour of everyday to God. Before facing anyone in the world, spend the first hour of your day with God. Let us put God first in our life before anything else in our life. 

                                                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all the blessings You have poured out on us. Help us to give back to You by keeping You as first in every part of our life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
