I will not put my feet on the floor
in the morning until I talk to God
Can you say without hesitation
That God is first
in your life
It's silly to say that we don't have time
for God
And if we don't have time for him then he's not first in our lives
Do you think about God in His goodnesss
in your life
Do you take time to thank God
for you blessings even little ones
Live to please the Lord
Make decisions that are pleasing to God
How many times do we decide to put God first
But then the keeping Him first
Becomes an issue because
in case you haven't noticed the world is full
of things to distract us
I'm sure you have experienced you make a decision
that your going to pray every morning and study the word before
you do anything else and then
all of a sudden it's night time and you don't even know what happened but
that plan you made didn't work out
And so more then anything
I want you to listen to me. More then anything the devil
will fight you
about keeping God first
in your time
in your finances and many many
many different ways
You see here's the thing you don't want to do
I found myself many years ago
Trying so hard to work God
into my schedule
And finally one day the Lord said
why don't you just work your schedule around me
So are you trying to find a place to put God
into your schedule. Or would you be
willing today to say God from now on
your going to be first and I don't care what else has to go
Or what I have to change what I have to
make an adjustment in
I want to keep you first in my life in
everything. Let me tell you
being a Christian just does not work out right
if God is a sideline in your life
He doesn't just want to be part of your Sunday morning
He wants to be welcomed into
and be a vital part of everything that
you do. Millions of
people believe in Jesus
and go to church on Sunday
But God is not first in there life
He puts your first in his life, do you know that
Every single one of you is first in God's thoughts
And I want you to understand this today.
You are on God's mind all the time
He's always thinking about you
We could not even count
the thoughts that God has towards us. They would be
like little grains of sand on the beach
Before you ever arrived on planet earth God made
a plan for every single day
of your life. He won't force you to walk in it
But he would like you to walk in it
He would like to guide you and lead you through life
and literally let me say it again be involved
in everything you do
in every decision you make God wants to
be part of it
That's what Jesus died for us to have
Boy we sure need God when we're desperate
Well you know we just can't go to God when were
desperate that's not a walk with God
You say you mean to tell me I need to spend time with God everyday
How about like every five minutes
God is not for the emergencies in our life
He is our life
Well so we can just keep trying to do a bunch of stuff
without him and just
fail time after time and hopefully we'll finally
get it that's what happened to me
Now some of you are still young enough that you think
oh man I got to get married, I got to have kids
I got to climb the latter of success
Well that's good, do all that
But if you do all that without God you'll come to the end of it
and you'll still be very dissatisfied
You're going to be like a person roaming around in the wilderness
Seeing one mirage after another that you think has
got the water that you need
Well this will make me happy
well this will make me happy
Nothing is going to make you happy
content and satisfied, you may
you may go and enjoy a vacation and your happy while your there
But who wants to just enjoy certain
events and days in there life I want to enjoy
every single ordinary day of my
life. Everyday
