Morningstar if Jesus is truly the Lord of our life, we will put aside all the things in which we previously found pleasure and satisfaction. Jesus becomes everything we need. We will discover life in Christ is what life is all about. As we immerse ourselves in His love and grace, and allow Him to envelop us in His all surpassing mercy and Holiness, we will find there is nothing else worth having. Putting God first in our lives requires that our priorities become reoriented to Him. Our focus changes from our own selfish desires to the sacrificial mission of Jesus.
It’s time we stopped lying to ourselves about our priorities. If your life looks pretty much the same as the person next to you, you probably aren’t putting God first in your life. If possessions, money and social status are important to you, chances are God is not. What has our attention is what has us. We can’t proclaim God to be first in our lives and then go and live for ourselves. Putting God first means doing it constantly, not just when it is convenient or when we know someone is looking. What good is it to fool others and even ourselves when we know that God sees our heart? If we want to be true followers of Jesus, then God must be our number one priority. Is this the reality in your life? If not, confess it to Jesus and ask Him to help you walk in His ways. Putting God first is the only way to have life. Make Him your top priority today and begin to experience the life you were created to live.........Jason
