Is it really worth it? Without doubt, we all know that God is a supernatural being who makes all impossibilities possible. Now imagine moving around the street with someone that posses this kind of power, you will move like kings and queens.
And yes! We are Kings and queens when we put God first in everything we do.
God morning and happy Sunday from my side. Today, i will be talking on the benefits of putting God first. Without taking much of your time, lets get down to it.
Making straight our paths
Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
The book of proverbs says "in all ways, acknowledge him" ... When we acknowledge him, what happens? "He will make straight your paths"
The lord will make our paths straight. This i not just an ordinary pathway (literary meaning) the "path" used here means all our works, things we want to achieve and our daily hustle.
When the path is straight, walking is made easy. Same way God is going to make our hustle easy for us if we decide to put him first.
Have you ever wondered why sinners pray to God? . the thief will pray to God before he goes to steal. Even the cyber criminals pray and hope on God for grace . what exactly does that tell you.
Though the bible made us know that the prayer of a sinner is an abomination before God. But for a sinner to pray to God. That means, he believe that God will be able to help him and make his path straight. How much you, a christian.
Wisdom
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Ever want to be wise enough to make good decisions? Proverb says, the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is God's wisdom given to you for free, in a platter of Gold. Are you ready to take it up?
he provides for us*
Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 34:10 Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Psalms says that we will lack no good thing but that is if and only if we seek the lord, that is, putting him first in everything we do.
Putting God first comes with a lot of benefits, if i should start listing, then there would be a very long list. Serve and reverence God and all things shall be made possible to you.
