Put God First

Put God First

Put God First in everything that you do. It’s important to find morning inspiration to put God first. How to put God first? Do we know what your true potential is? How important is time? We should not waste even a single day.

Why it is important to Put God First?

It’s amazing what happens when you give God that first little bit of time. And I believe that you’ll be you. You’ll find your time with God so fruitful that then you’ll start making ways to get more out of yourself, you will discover your true self. 

You don’t have to go to God every morning for your daily bread, your daily wisdom, daily direction, God already knows what your needs are and what is best for you. As our Lord has said to us, 25“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? (Matthew 6: 25-27).

Too many times we’re trying to do things only in our own strength, our own intellect, our own ability. That’s going to limit us. God can see things that you can’t see. He knows the right people who should be in your life. He knows where the danger is where the dead ends are.God knows how to catapult you into your destiny where you have an advantage.

Are you taking time for your daily bread? Yes of course, all of us do have time for daily bread. But unfortunately when it comes to daily prayer we rush out of the house, we give excuses like I am in a hurry, I don’t have time today, I got to get to work, I live by this principle, I don’t need prayers etc. 

People who give excuses are not who they think they are. They have not known their true potential yet. But for that they have to put God first in their lives.

How to put God first?

Never meet with other people before you meet with God. Take time to acknowledge God, say God I need you today, lead me, guide me, keep me on the right path. As the Scripture says, Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies—make your way straight before me (Psalms 5:8). Not only will your day go better, but God will keep you from making mistakes. Start every day with thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is so important. What are you thankful for, do you thank God daily for even little things?

There’s so much to be thankful for. When you wake up in the morning, Say thank you for grace, thank you for mercy, thank you for understanding, thank you for wisdom, thank you for parents, thank you for love, thank you for kindness, thank you for humility, thank you for peace, thank you for prosperity.

Say thank you in advance for what’s already yours. True desire in the heart for anything good is God’s proof to you sent beforehand to indicate that it’s yours already. That itch that you have, whatever it is you want to do, things that you want to do to help others, the desire to grow and to make money. 

This itch is God’s proof to you sent beforehand already to indicate that it’s yours and anything you want good you can have. So claim it, Work hard to get it. When you get it, reach back, pull someone else up. Each person can teach one person. Don’t just aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference. Don’t ever waste a day.

Morning inspiration

What are some of your mornings like? Do you go to bed intending to get up and spend time with God, but then when the alarm goes off you hit the snooze. Then you hit the snooze again, and then you hit the snooze again. 

And then you’ve laid in bed too long and so then you get up of course now you have no time for anything. And you’re in a frenzy, and you’re in a rush, and so that makes you grouchy. You know you should have spent time with God but you didn’t do it and the whole day basically just becomes a nightmare.

If you don’t spend time with God you are going to have an ordinary day, a day which is as good as waste of time or sometimes even more difficult. This will happen day after another after another if you don’t put God first.

How important is time?

Time is vital. At whatever age we are, we always have the tendency to think that we still have more than enough time. I think when you’re in your 20s, maybe even 30s, maybe even 40s you don’t think too much about time. But a year ago it occurred to me that almost half of my life was over. The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away (Psalms 90: 10).

I just became much more aware of time. And how foolish it is to waste any day that you have. You know there’s something really interesting about time. We all get the same amount in a day every day is 24 hours. Some people are very fruitful and effective and some people just waste their time day after day after day. That’s a choice that we make, but there’s one thing about time, once it goes by you never get it back. 

So how tragic it is to waste any day of your life, I think we need to live every day like it was our very last one and live it to the absolute fullest glorifying God that we can live it according to his will.

Let’s find inspiration every morning to discover our true potential, let that morning inspiration come from God. Let’s learn to Put God First every day. Amen
