Put God First:
What staying focused on God and putting him first means to me is to consider his ways….thinking about Him often, listening to the Holy Spirit and seeking his Kingdom. It means to reverence him in my day to day, remembering to do what pleases him instead of myself first.
It mean’s submitting myself to His will for my life- and recognizing when it’s me vs what He wants for His Children… to love one another. It means going to Him first instead of a friend for guidance. It means to spend time with him through reading his Word, prayer and meditation.
It means to trust and have faith in Him that He is always working things out for my good and to completely depend and rely on him for everything in my life, especially in my weaknesses and struggles. For his power works best in weakness.
Putting him first means knowing that when I fall short, when I haven’t spent time in the Word, and when I haven’t prayed and meditated that he still loves me, and he still cares about me, and he’s waiting for me always.
Putting him first is about knowing and trusting that when I fall short he forgives me and does not remember my sins. He wants a relationship with me and is working on me to make his desires become my ways.
He’s faithful to me and I want to be faithful and committed to Him. That’s what putting him first means to me.
