CHOOSING TO SERVE GOD FIRST

CHOOSING TO SERVE GOD FIRST


We all have a MANTRA=
A CODE if you will=or
A MISSION STATEMENT=
For our lives


Mine has always been
To PUT GOD and FAMILY FIRST


“As for me and MY HOUSELOLD=
We will SERVE THE LORD” Joshua 24:15


Joshua was a GREAT warrior=
But he KNEW more than that


He knew to PUT GOD FIRST=
For himself and for
His FAMILY


When he FACED a challenge=
Or a decision in LIFE=
He ALWAYS put God first


WE should do so well=
As WHEN we have a decision=
Or face a challenge=
To always
PUT GOD and FAMILY FIRST


There are many WAYS
To make decisions and
There are many ways
To CHOOSE our
NEXT STEPS in life


But the ONLY way
To CHOOSE the will of God
Is to SERVE God first


And put GOD above everything else


“But seek FIRST
His kingdom and his righteousness


And ALL these things
Will be GIVEN to you
As well” Matthew 6:33


“But many who are FIRST
Will be last
And the last=FIRST” Mark 10:31


“We LOVE because
He FIRST loved us” 1 John 4:19


CHOOSE to SERVE God first=
Because God & FAMILY
Are NUMBER ONE=in our lives


We will FIND=that
Everything else=will FALL
Into its proper place


IF we choose to
SERVE God first=and we
PUT our home and family
UNDER GOD'S SERVICE


God will NEVER let us down=
Even in the midst
Of loss=and serious challenges


“Therefore=I GLORY
In Christ Jesus
In my SERVICE to God” Romans 15:17


“You know that
The household of Stephanas
Were the FIRST converts


In Achaia
And they have
Devoted themselves to SERVICE
Of the Lord's PEOPLE” 1 Corinthians 16:15


Dear Lord=TODAY=like Joshua=
MY FAMILY and I
CHOOSE to SERVE YOU FIRST


And let everything else
Ride on you


WE CHOSE to SERVE you Lord=
FIRST and ALWAYS


In the names of Jesus=and the LIGHT
Of the DIVINE FATHER
