Seek God First

I can not begin to stress the importance of seeking a relationship with God first and foremost in everything that you do, say, think, feel, desire, or need. The Bible teachs that once we are obedient to Him and stay under His authority then He will fulfil all of the desires of our heart.

When we put anything or anyone above God, then it shows that we are not being obedient to His word. We can not serve two masters, it either has to be God or is it money, shopping, our spouse, children etc. It is critical that we do not place these above God.

God has no respect to person, therefore His word does not change. The gospel is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It does not change based on the circumstances of the situation. What God told the disciples, and others in the Bible is the same as what He is telling you right now today. It is up to you to apply what He said to your situation and/or circumstance.

There is nothing that you can do that has not already been done. What you have done has already been done by someone else. When Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, sin entered into man and woman. Therefore, it is important to know that we are genetically coded to have sin in us. The difference is whether or not we give into the flesh and commit the sin or if we punish it with the word of God and repent.

Develop a relationship with God and live everyday of your life to be the new creature in life that He created you to be. Understand that God can not err and therefore, He did not error when he created you. Put God first and stay under His authority at all times whether good or bad and He will fulfil all of your needs. Just remember to always keep your heart, mind, and spirit in line with the word of God.
