Seek God First ~Matthew 6:33
Putting God first is realizing it’s all about Him. Everything in your life is to be directed to Him.
Advantages of Keeping God First
Make it your objective to have a profound, personal connection with God. Give Him access to each part of your life. In the event that you continually seek others for answers and approval, ask about this and request that the Lord assist you with halting doing that and rather look to Him. (See 1 Thessalonians 2:4.) As we live to satisfy God, He vows to favor our lives and cause us to succeed.
At the point when you choose to serve God with your entire heart and make Him first in your life, your spirit will flourish and your bliss and harmony will increment. Make sure to incline toward Him more than all else, and let him know, "God, I need to do this, yet I can't do it without You." He doesn't anticipate that you should live for Him in your own quality or capacity, and He comprehends when you commit errors.
So on the off chance that you jumble up, don't be debilitated and let it keep you down; admit it and continue onward. God will give you beauty to do what you have to do. Each day, in turn, you and God together can do anything!
It is safe to say that you are adoring God with your entire existence, soul, psyche, and quality?
In the event that you state no, at that point you are being rebellious to this order. On the off chance that you state truly, at that point you are lying on the grounds that nobody other than Christ has ever adored the Lord with all the fixings, which additionally makes you rebellious. As should be obvious you have a major issue and you're not putting the Lord first.
Mark 12:30 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
Matthew 22:37 “Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
When you truly believe in Christ you will be a new creation with new desires for Christ. You won’t desire to live in sin. He becomes your life. I’m not talking about sinless perfection. I’m not saying you won’t struggle with sinful thoughts, desires, and habits, but God is going to work in you to conform you into the image of Christ. There will be a change in you.
Ephesians 4:22-24 “You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires, to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image—in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.”
Try not to disclose to me God is first in your life when you don't invest energy with Him in the petition.
You possess energy for everything else, except you don't possess energy for supplication? On the off chance that Christ is your life, you will possess energy for Him in the petition. Likewise, I need to include that when you ask you to do it in view of His magnificence, not your egotistical wants. That doesn't imply that you can't request things like an expansion in funds, however it will be to additionally propel His realm and to be a gift to other people.
Ordinarily, you're not going to try and need to approach Him for anything. You simply need to be separated from everyone else with your Father. That is one of the wonders of the petition. Alone time with Him and becoming acquainted with Him. At the point when you have an enthusiasm for the Lord, it will be found in your petition life. Is it true that you are looking for a desolate spot each day to be with your Father?
Matthew 6:33 "Yet look for first the realm of God and His nobility, and every one of these things will be accommodated you."
