GOD GETS PREEMINENCE

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ tells us :
” But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. “

Spending Time With God in the morning should be your number one priority. He didn’t have to wake you up,but He did. He didn’t have to lend you the breath that you take,but He did.

“In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where He could be alone to pray.” (Mark 1:35)

‭‭” He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” (Colossians 1:15-18 NKJV).

Here’s a question for you, How do you begin your day? What are you meditating on,or thinking about? Wouldn’t God be glorified, and satan horrified , if we start our day like this :‭‭ ” Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalms 103:1-5 NKJV).

‭‭” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” ( 1 Corinthians 15:57 NKJV). To wake up in the morning is a victory over death and the grave because of Jesus. You better be thankful that you are on the wake-up list. Many people missed that privilege.

Your relationship with God should be your number one priority in the mornings. Because you value Him over everyone and everything. However, how can you value someone or something that you don’t appreciate 🤔. IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD VALUABLE?

Some people start their mornings, with social media, or the news . How about spending time with God, reading daily devotions, studying His Word, and praying. Of course, this can take place any time of the day or night, but first thing in the morning is ideal for one-on-one time with God. Maybe that’s why Jesus chose mornings, “rising up a great while before day” to spend time with His Father , and get directions and instructions.

‭‭Seeking God first will help you to,” Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” ( Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV).

Because, as our day progresses, it’s easy to become so immersed in events and activities that time slips away before we realize it’s gone. The next thing we know, we’re lying down at night, feeling sleepy, and suddenly we realize that we went through an entire day without spending time with God. Then we feel guilty ,and try to so say a quick prayer and vow to do better tomorrow … but will or do we?

If you don’t already have time with God scheduled into your regular morning routine, now is a great time to make Him your highest priority . By doing so, you will be starting your day off right and will be better equipped than ever to tackle everything that the day holds for you.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[17] I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.

‭‭” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]
