The Law of Putting God First

30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. - (Matthew 6:30-33)

Are You Putting God First?
Ask yourself the following questions. In answering them, you’ll be able to identify whether or not you are putting God first in these key areas of your life.
Your Time Do you spend time with God every day, and does that time take priority over everything and everyone else?
Your Pursuits
Do your personal pursuits line up with the plan of God for your life?
If you are pursuing areas God doesn’t want you involved in, then your time is a waste, and your efforts are futile.
Your Possessions
If God told you to give something away, would you do it, no matter how hard you worked for it?
If you realize God has blessed you with your possessions, then you won’t have a problem giving them away. Blessings shouldn’t become things that possess you.
Obedience
Are you a doer of the Word, and are you doing what God has told you to do?
Isaiah 1:19 tells us, "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:"
Increase God’s Way
God’s laws of increase will not work for you if God is not the first One you seek after. If you’ve identified areas where God’s not been first in your life, today is the day to make the adjustment.
Seek God first in the area of your time, and you’ll find that He’ll help you manage your time well. Pursue those things that line up with God’s plan for your life, and your pursuits will be profitable. See God as your Provider, and He will bless you with the desires of your heart. Be willing and obedient to seek after God in every area of your life and you’ll eat the good of the land.
Put God first and increase God’s way!
