Putting God first

Matthew 6:33 KJV

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

How is the order in your life? Do you sometimes put your family, your job, your friends, or your hobbies before God? I have been guilty of this so many times in my life but when I put the Lord first everything worked out. I remember being so upset in my life and Matthew 6:33 was laid on my heart. We want to put everything else first when the right order is putting our Lord and Saviour first.

Matthew 10:37-40 KJV

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

John 12:46 KJV
