In everything you do, put God first,
And he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.(Proverbs 3:6, TLB)
Every government have their way of running the country, increasing wealth, securing their interests and borders. The kingdom of God, which is the only stable and just kingdom, also have the way things are done; God first, then every other thing flows from Him.
In 1 Kings 17, Elijah asked a starving widow to do something that seemed selfish and out of place. He said, “Before you make your final meal from the last of your grain and oil, make me a loaf of bread.” She obeyed, and with it came God’s promise of overflowing provision because she gave Him first place and did as Elijah instructed.
When you wake up in the morning, don’t meet with anyone until you first meet with the Lord. Take time to thank Him for the day. Thank Him for who He is. Thank Him that He’s the giver of all good things, that He’s your protector, your provider, your healer, and your way maker.
All through the day, under your breath, you can talk to God and say, “Lord, thank You for watching over me, my children, and that which concerns me. Lord, help me to be my best at school/work today. Lord, direct me in everything I do and say.” You cannot live like this and not be full of testimonies.
Give Him first place in your home, your child's life, your finances, and whatever you're doing. Know this; it actually belongs to Him. God bless you.
