Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
As believers, followers of Christ, God should be at the top of our list of priorities. In everything that we do, God should come first.
It can be hard for some people, even some believers, to grasp this. Sometimes people just float through life and never realize that God is the pinnacle of everything.
But as we grow in our faith, God naturally begins to climb to the top of our lives in just about every aspect. It doesn’t happen instantly, but over time it takes place as we grow closer to Him.
Maybe you’re reading this and you’re wondering if God is really first in your life, before everything else. If that’s the case, He probably isn’t. But it doesn’t mean that you’re without hope!
Press in to God. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
You see, it requires effort on our part first. If we put forth the effort, He will give the increase, and our hearts and lives will begin to change, putting Him first more and more often, in more areas of our lives.
And when that happens, we will see remarkable changes in ourselves, as we allow Him to shape us and mold us into who He wants us to be.
