Is God First

God needs to be first in our lives. So ask yourself is He? We all lead busy lives, have competing priorities and juggle at times an overwhelming set of responsibilities. But is God first? Many have amassed wealth, can enumerate accomplishments and look over the years of our lives and feel good about how far we have come versus where we were. But is God first. You may have the roles of spouse, parent, business owner, professional, student attached to your name, but always remember that your love of God and your submission to Him must be at the forefront of your mind, heart and soul. I admonish us to spend a little less time rehearsing into the hearing of others the things we have accomplished or gained and spend more time thanking God for what He has done for us and how He continues to bless us even in our state of imperfection. We have accomplished nothing but by His help and plan. We have amassed "things" only because He has allowed it. Everything we think we own or have accomplished can be wiped out in seconds, but God being the head of our lives and in charge withstands and outlasts possessions or achievements because God is first, whether we recognize it or not. Put God first.
