"You shall have no
other gods before me."
Exodus 20:3
This
is the first commandment which was given to Moses and the people of Israel after
their delivery from the hand of pharaoh in Egypt. This is what God
rightly expects from all of us.
Are
you a one or two hour a week Christian or do you give the Lord devotional time
every day? Do you help promote the programs at your church, tell others about your faith in Jesus, volunteer in your community? Do you generously
support your church with your tithes and offerings or give your leftovers -- if
you have any?
God
expects all of His followers to live different lives from the rest of the
world. He put us first by giving His Son, Jesus, to die for our
sins. He has prepared a place in His heavenly mansions for all who
believe in Jesus. He blesses us daily with all we need to sustain our
lives and loves us unconditionally.
In
return, we need to recognize Him as God and place Him in Hi rightful place in
our hearts, first, above all else.

I think the first question that Carol wrote is so important to think about. If things come to mind instead of God then He is not the First Thing first. We need to examine our priorities and put them in a new order where they belong. God first followed by spouse, family, work, friends. How does your list go?
