Putting God first


 
As we know, Jesus gave his life for the world as a ransom to save us from death to bring life unto us in salvation so that we would no longer serve sin no more.

Proverbs 10:16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

If we labor hard in the wrong place we will lost focus on the right things of God.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

The world is looking for certain demands to be met, some are good for the benefits of others, and some demands are compromising to the Lords word of God. We need to use our spiritual judgment to direct our ways.

Example: You are looking for a job, and you land at a business that is willing to hire you, and you will earn wages that you have never earn before. But the boss told you that you will need to travel a lot, this means missing church services, mingle with customers this means possibly drinking liquid. Do you think this job is for a true born again Christian?  

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The word of God tells us that if you put God first, he will provide all your needs

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

 Do not worry

Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

By putting too much wasted time into in the world you will notices a lack of blessing's coming to you from the Lord. The Lord should be the first page of every chapter in your life. 

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

If we are ground in the word of God, and put God first we will have a loving relationship that will not be torn apart.

Romans 8: 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
