Make And Keep, God First

Good Morning, I Thank The LORD, For Making HIMself Known,...In My Life And The Lives Of Those Around Me!! Our world is often very success oriented. We are told we must be ambitious and fight for wealth, status, and recognition. Desiring a pleasant life, and the development of one's skills to their maximum potential, is all well and good,...but how much importance do we place on our spiritual ambitions? Should a promotion, a new car, or new house take precedence over one's salvation? Are you more willing to buy a book or take a course in personal improvement or financial success than one on gaining an understanding of your Creator?

The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.—Luke 12: 23 (KJV)

Some individuals have no spiritual ambition, at all,...they seek only to satisfy their flesh, ignoring the needs of the spirit,...threatening their very salvation. In the Bible, we're told that there is a way that seems right to man, but in the end, they are the ways of death. Flesh seeks to please the needs of the flesh, while the spirit hungers for food for the soul. Desiring to care for our earthly bodies and welfare is indeed noble, but don't deprive your soul of its salvation in the process. By putting God First, all other things fall neatly into place.

Know what truly matters,...this world, and the things in it, will all pass away.

Help us Father, that we may learn to place nothing above You. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"More people could learn from their mistakes,...if they weren't so busy denying they made them."
