Putting God First in Your Life - Through Worship

You never hear anyone say: ‘I really need to catch up on my worship.’ And that is a shame.

We place much emphasis on our busy lives, and yet how much time do we give to the One who gave all to us? Do you try to squeeze God into your schedule? God needs to come first in your life. FIRST.

Nothing in this world should be more important to you than your relationship with God. When you work on that, when you make time every day and night to worship Him, to read and study and live Scripture, and when you show you love Him by obeying His word, then every other relationship in your life will be guided by the light of your Creator.

By putting God first, you will know how to properly (biblically) love your spouse. Your raising of your children will be performed with a righteous, loving, and firm hand. You will respond to the unbelievers in your life with Scriptural wisdom. The bible tells us to think on the things of God, of heaven, and on what is good. When our thoughts dwell constantly on the earthly and on yourself, you fall prey to Satan’s devices. So arm yourself with God’s word, and spend more time with Him.

Take a deep, slow breath, and then search the scriptures and draw near to God. See what truly matters in this world, and in the next.

Seek guidance in: Colossians 3:2-10. 1 Timothy 4:6. 1 Chronicles 16:29. Psalm 95:6. Matthew 4:10. John 4:24. Psalm 29:2 – Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Matthew 10:34-38 tells us that we must love Him above all else. These are hard words by our Savior. But He often uses shocking language to drive home His point. Here that point is that He must come first, for it is only through this order that we can properly view others and ourselves. We will learn to love our neighbor and properly treat our family, when we put God first. For by doing this, we learn to humble ourselves and exalt Him.

This is the opposite of modern teaching, where we are taught to exalt ourselves, and where God comes into play later, if there’s time left in the day. The bible had it right 2 millennia ago, and it has it right today. Don’t let backward modern feel-good philosophies confuse your Christianity. God first.
