Jesus: Put God
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
How do we put first things first?
1 First of the day: God
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35 (NIV)
2 First of the week:
On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Acts 20:7 (NIV)
3 First of the month:
A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. Leviticus 27:30 (NIV)
You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Luke 11:42 (NLT)
4 First of the Year:
17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, Matthew 6:17-18 (NIV)
Put God to be best equipped for the new year!
