Thank you, Clark Jones, for a good devotional Thursday night at our meeting. This is a long read, but I felt it was worth posting since we all need to be reminded of our GODS purpose for our lives.CHRISTIAN BASSMEN CLUB PURPOSE: "TO ORGANIZE AND MAINTAIN CHRISTIAN MEN WHO WILL DO THE LORD'S WILL FIRST AND ENJOY THE SPORT OF BASS FISHING AND FELLOWSHIP SECOND".Question? What does it really mean to "Do the Lord's Will First"? It is common to hear a Christian say, "I'm putting God first" or to counsel others to "make sure God has first place in your life." Such expressions are used so often they run the risk of becoming a Christian cliché. But there's nothing trite about the idea of putting God first; in fact, it's thoroughly biblical.Everyone has priorities. We arrange our schedules, budgets, and relationships according to perceived importance. Putting God first means we give Him top priority over everything else. He is the principal figure in our lives and central to all we do and think. When we choose to put God first, we determine that He is more important than any other person, His Word is more valuable than any other message, and His will is weightier than any other imperative.Putting God first means that we keep the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). In other words, we are totally invested in our relationship with God. Everything we have and everything we are is devoted to Him. We hold nothing back.Putting God first means we keep our lives free from idolatry in all its forms: "Dear children, keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21). An idol is anything that replaces the one, true God in our hearts. Just like Gideon demolished the altar of Baal and chopped down the Asherah pole in (Judges 6:25-27), we must tear from our hearts anything that lessens our devotion to or reverence of God. As Gideon built an altar to the Lord to replace the idolatrous images, we must dedicate ourselves as "living sacrifices" to God and in that way put Him first (Romans 12:1).Putting God first means that we strive to follow in Jesus' steps (1 Peter 2:21). Jesus' life was characterized by total submission to the Father's will, service to others, and prayer. In the garden, faced with unthinkable agony, Jesus prayed, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). That's putting God first.Those who put God first will stand out from the rest of the world. They will obey God's commands (John 14:15), they will take up their cross and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23), and they will not forsake their first love (Revelation 2:4). They give God the first fruits, not the leftovers. The Christian life is characterized by moment-to-moment selfless service to God that flows from love for Him and His people. In all things, the believer trusts, obeys, and loves God above all else. Putting God first becomes easier when we take to heart the words of Romans 11:36: "Everything comes from the Lord. All things were made because of him and will return to him.How To Put God First Every DayRead The Bible The Bible is God's word, and in it we learn what God is like, what He desires for us, and how we can please Him. By reading the Bible each day and seeking to do what it says, we put God first in our lives.Pray Through prayer, we lay our hearts open before the Lord. We ask Him to strengthen, encourage, and refresh us. We ask Him to give us the power to obey Him. We tell Him what we need and appeal to Him to meet us in our weakness.In response to our prayers, God works in our lives. He does great things and helps us to live in a way that pleases and honors Him.Community We can't live the Christian life on our own. We need to be in a community with other believers who can encourage us and point us toward the Lord. We need to serve them and lay our lives down for them. Being a Christian isn't just about our personal walk with the Lord. Rather, we are called to live in community with other Christians.Learning to put God first is a lifelong process. There will be times when we succeed and times when we fail. The good news is that our hope is not ultimately in ourselves, but in Jesus. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life, always putting God first. He truly did love God with all His heart, soul, mind, and strength.If we have believed in Jesus, then God credits Jesus' perfect righteousness to us. He looks upon us as if we have always made God our top priority. Even when we fail, we are still completely righteous in Christ.The more we read the Bible, pray, and fellowship with others, the more success we'll have in making God our top priority. But when we stumble, we can still come confidently back to God, knowing He fully accepts us in Christ. ... See MoreSee Less
