I am competitive in nature. I want to be the best I can be in every hobby that I have ever tried. Putting other things before ourselves can be a challenge for most of us. My Bible reading this morning said if I would put God first everyday that He would give me everything I need in life. That is quite a promise, but, it is also one of the hardest things for us to do. It is a matter of putting God first in everything we do. Simple thing? Yes! Easy to do? Not necessarily. (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.) We want God to help us through life, but it is sometimes difficult to consistently put him first. It may seem easy to put God first in our lives when we’re in church on Sunday morning, but we are so tempted to take back number one on Monday. Seeking God and putting Him first requires building an intimate relationship with Him that will sustain you every day of the week. God knows what we need better than we do, and He longs to provide it, but He requires that we make Him top priority in our lives. Find a time each day to read your Bible, pray, and allow God to reign number one in your life. You will find that your desires will soon be completely filled. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
