IS THE LORD FIRST IN YOUR LIFE?

Never undertake anything for which you wouldn't have the courage to ask the blessings of Heaven. –Lichtenberg

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

So often we go around asking for the best in life but we are not willing to give our best. Young men and women want a spouse that will love them like a romantic movie or book, but they go looking for them in the arm pits of society. All they are going to find is a sweaty body! We want the best paying job but we aren’t willing to work hard to get it. We want every blessing that the Lord can give but we don’t want to make Him the Lord of our life!

I like how the Word of God instructs us in Colossians 3:23, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”

What are you searching for? Whatever IT is, put God first in your life! Praise Him for working in and through your life along the way-- even in the times when it seems as if He is a thousand miles away! Just remember, the Teacher is always silent during a test!
