Putting God First



When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place.
 - Ezra Taft Benson



Jesus taught His disciples that we must make a relationship with God our focus in life.  To be carefree is not the answer.  Sometimes we are careless about what we put in our bodies, what we watch on television and what we read.  God holds us responsible.  The greatest concern in life is to place our relationship with God first and everything must be second.

It is not an easy thing to do.  When we follow the Christian life, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us into line with the teaching of Jesus.  Let go and let God!

Verses:

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.  Matthew 6:24
