If God is first in your life, Everything can come in order. If God is not first in your life, Nothing can come in order and when I say everything comes in order, I don't mean we're not gon na have problems or tribulations Jesus said you'll have tribulation but be of good cheer. I'Ve overcome the world, I don't mean you won't ever have any problems because we live in a fallen world, But what I do mean is that everything in your life can come into order and you can walk through whatever situation you go through Because God is in Charge and in control in your life, because you've put him first in your life, But here's another thing: God can never do. He can never be second, He can never be second He's, first of all, he's above all he's higher than all he's. First, Every morning you wake up the Lord Jesus Christ, who is your savior, is with you all day long? How often during the day, do you call upon him? Do you rely upon him? Do you talk to him? Do you confess to him? Do you seek direction or you just go your way Time with him? It simply means this That, at time, whatever that time is for you in your life, You spend with him to do what to get a sense of direction To prepare you for what the day holds. Only God knows what any day holds for any of us, Because God knows what's around the corner, he knows what's going to happen, We as preachers sometimes will say, Put God first in your life And that's a good analogy to help us understand. But let me just let you know, if God's, not first in your life,
He's still, first in the universe, You didn't rearrange the order of the cosmos at all; Okay, God's still, first, So God can never be. Second, Here's what I'm talking about who's first in your life Who's! Really! First, I'm asking you where your heart is. I'm telling you about a principle in scripture that God says, will you put me first In every area of your life, will you put me first Satan will do anything and everything in his power to get you busy to distract you Anything to keep you off your Knees, keep you out of the word of God. Keep you from meditating upon scripture, Keep you from absorbing the word of God, keeping you from feeding on the word of God, because he knows how important it is, And so why was Jesus up early, as the bible reminds us in several places up early before day, Because Jesus, the Son of God knew that he needed that time to be alone with his heavenly father to listen to the father. All of us. None of us are in such a situation that we are so complete within ourselves that we don't need God's direction. All of us need to take time to listen to God That the most important thing in your life As a follower of Jesus Is your time that you spend alone with him with nobody, but him And so Listen. It was. It was a priority in the life of Jesus
It was a priority in the life of the Apostle Paul, Because it's the time when you and God personally Are hearing each other - God is hearing you You're hearing God You're listening to God. God is listening to you. It'S that private intimate personal time that you spend with him It's when there are no interruptions in your relationship with him Most important part of your life, no matter what, When you have a private time with just you and God, Let me tell you something That can Save your life, It can save your finances, It can save your marriage, it can save your relationships, It can save your children.
It can save every aspect of your life Because it's that time, when you and God that just the two of you are dealing with something in your life, that God Is going to give you the right answer, You may hear lots of things. But if you will stay with him, he will show you exactly what to do in any and every situation God's not going to mislead. You watch this carefully If he loves you enough to give his son to die on the cross, for you He's certainly not going to mislead you in some decision you have to make you say: well, I'm a nobody! No you're not You're a somebody You're somebody whom Jesus has saved You're somebody that God has kept you to this point in your life, You're somebody that God has a plan for your life You're. Somebody from God has a future And for whom God loves Enough to take time to listen to you Speak to you Guide, you help you guard you, That's who he is
That's what That's what This is all about Now think about this every single day of our life. We are absolutely subject to the power of God. We have the privilege of having a relationship with him. We have The power within us and the Holy Spirit to do the right thing every time. If we will choose to do it, He is working in our behalf continually
