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
