Keep God First
Deuteronomy 5:7 The Voice
You are to worship no other gods before me—My presence is enough.
Worshipping other gods sounds strange, but that’s what we do when we run to
other people or other things to satisfy and fulfill. God’s presence is what
brings true fulfillment, true satisfaction.
There’s a place in our lives for people and things, but not first. God
wants first place. When we give God first place, everything goes better for
us. Other people and things can bring relief and fulfillment, but only
temporarily. God doesn’t want us to go from temporary to temporary – He
wants us to dwell in His presence where we are completely filled.
He is our Provider, Savior, Friend, Father, Comforter, and more. He is all
we need. Everything and everyone else is secondary.
Father, I desire to keep you first in my life at all times. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
