“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to let distractions pull us away from what truly matters. The demands of work, family, and social obligations can often take precedence over our relationship with Jesus. However, the call to make Jesus first in our lives is not merely a suggestion; it is a directive that leads to true fulfillment and peace.
Making Jesus first means prioritizing our time with Him above all else. It involves setting aside moments each day for prayer, worship, and reading His Word. When we intentionally create space for Jesus in our lives, we invite His presence into our thoughts and actions, transforming our hearts and guiding our decisions.
Below are some suggestions.
Personal Application:
1. Daily Quiet Time: Set aside a specific time each day for prayer and Bible reading. This can be early in the morning, during lunch, or before bed—whatever works best for you. Use this time to connect with Jesus and reflect on His teachings.
2. Prioritize Worship: Attend church services regularly and engage in worship through music, fellowship, and service. Surrounding yourself with other believers can strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep Jesus at the center.
3. Seek His Guidance: Before making decisions “big or small” take a moment to seek Jesus’ guidance through prayer. Ask for His wisdom and clarity, trusting that He knows what is best for you.
4. Live Out Your Faith: Let your actions reflect your commitment to Jesus. Share His love with others, serve those in need, and be a light in your community. When Jesus is first in your heart, His love naturally overflows into your interactions.
Making Jesus first is a daily commitment that requires intentionality. As you strive to prioritize Him in your life, remember that He is always with you, guiding and supporting you in every step of your journey.
“Embrace the joy and peace that comes from putting Jesus at the center, knowing that everything else will fall into place.“
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to put You first in every area of my life. Teach me to seek Your kingdom above all else and to trust that You will provide for my needs. May my heart be aligned with Yours, and may my actions reflect Your love. Strengthen my faith as I prioritize my relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click he
