It sounds simple enough, “Put God First.”
It seems reasonable enough, “Put God First.”
It’s the first of the commandments, “You will have no other gods besides me.” (Exodus 20) Luther’s explanation of the first commandment is short, sweet and to the point enough, “…fear, love and trust in God above all things.”
Yet…yet..it’s likely the spiritual principle violated most often (habitually?). It is the commandment most denied and misunderstood despite simple yet profound explanation!
This is why we so need the Lord to inspire faith within us; to encourage hope and trust in his promises – in his spiritual processes!
This is why God calls on us to learn to TRUST him to lean into Him more each day. Because at the end of the day, it’s the only thing that works; it’s the only Truth that saves and the only way to live satisfied, overflowing lives of joy.
Put God first.
I look forward to seeing you in worship!
