GOD FIRST!!

It's a lovely Monday morning -- the sunshine is so very beautiful streaming in my windows!  I thought of the song, "What a Beautiful day for the Lord to come again"!  One day He is coming, and I want to keep walking with Jesus until I look upon His blessed face---what a day, glorious day, that will be!

In the meantime, I want to follow the challenge of this little poem by an unknown author and be careful to "Put God First"!

           "Don't wait until the house is all kept,
            The beds are made, the floors are swept:
            Put PRAYER first.

            Don't wait until the newspaper is read,
            Your books are balanced, and you are in bed:
            Put the BIBLE first.

            Don't wait until the cupboards are bare,
            There's nothing to depend on but God and prayer:
            Put FASTING first.

            Don't wait until the last bill is paid,
            The account is large; vacation is made:
             Put the CHURCH first.

             Don't wait until you've nothing to do,
             Until all is finished -- for we never get through:
             Put GOD first!"

Praise the Lord!!  Let us seek FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus!  No wonder the songwriter said, "It is Glory just to walk with Him"!
