When it comes to our everyday habits, it's important to ask: 'Am I putting God first?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives.
Our mothers put God first when they fill their highest mission within the walls of their own homes.
I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it - I think that's important.
Every morning when I get up, I ask God what he wants me to do, ask him to lead me to the right people to help them.
Sometimes God answers our questions with questions.
In my relationship with God, I've learned that if I follow a 'formula' for how I spend my time with Him, then I'm just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.
We live unto Him, so committing our service to the Lord is the first and foremost priority of our lives. We can start with our reasonable service: prayer, studying, fasting, tithing, fellowshipping, and witnessing.
If I keep God first in my life, if I keep my family and friends as second, and then I keep my occupation third, that's when I've found success.
I am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life... and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.
We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.
