Putting God First In All We Do

 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you - Mathew 6:33.

             We put God first by loving Him more than anything else in the world and honoring Him. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind - Matthew 22:37. 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.

           Mary put Jesus first by choosing to hear His Word whereas Martha was worried and distracted by many things. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving - Luke 10:39,40. And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her” - Luke 10:41,42.

             Let us put God first in all we do and give glory to Him. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God - 1 Corinthians 10:31. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:5,6. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God - Matthew 4:4.

                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to love You and honor You by putting You first in all we do. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
