WHOSE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE

Although I am almost 57 years old, I'm still not sure what I am doing with my life. I have 3 adult children and although they all have strayed at one time or the other, the Lord has really blessed me and they have, all 3, turned out pretty good I am divorced, but my ex and I get along pretty good now.
Although I am a Christian and have been saved for 26 years, my life has been a mess, largley because of my own stupid decisions. In the last couple of years things have started to straighten up in my life, but I am still not sure what the Lord has in store for me. I have however finally figured out what I need to do. Now I just need to do what I am supposed to.

The whole thing amounts to who or what do I put first in my life. While I have been saved over 26 years and know that God is always in control, most of the time I have not put him first in my life. I feel that is the main challenge most Christians have.

We need to put God first and seek his will in everything we do. A few years ago I heard this, our life should be JOY; Jesus first, Others second, yourself last. To many times we make it reversed.

So anyone who reads this before you do something, no matter how small, always seek God's will, do what he tells you and put him first in everything.

GOD BLESS

I don't think God is that concerned with people putting him first.

I'm sure if we could poll God he would encourage us to put others ahead of ourselves but also encourage us to put ourselves first when need be.

The supreme being doesn't have time to worry about where he is in our personal pecking order.

Just that he has a place.

My view at least...

The bible says lots of things... We can not take it all at face value! The bible is a becon in the distance... a guide if you will.

Among the MANY things the bible says...

(taken from an email from a few years back)

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

4. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton and polyester blend). He also tends to curse a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Leviticus 24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? Leviticus 20:14

I find it impossible to to take the bible as 100% literal "truth"
