March
is here and with it, the “winds of change” will soon arrive.
Now is a good time for each of us to evaluate each of our lives and
determine if there are any areas in our lives also needing change.
It is so easy to get caught up in the affairs of this world, that
we sometimes forget and/or stray from what should be our foundation…God.
If you are a husband with problems at home, a parent of a wayward
child, or in the midst of a multitude of other personal challenges, are
you trying to tackle them on your own and leave God out, or do you rely
solely on Him?
God
gives us such a simple solution to our problems and worries. Do we put our
abilities and ourselves first, or do we put God first?
Do you give God your “first-fruits” whether it is your time or
tithes, or do you just give God the leftovers?
Do you read your bible daily or hear a few verses on Sunday
morning?
Do you have nightly devotions with your family?
All of these point to putting God first.
When things sometimes seem to get worse in our lives with increased
problems and anxieties, do we turn to God first, or do we automatically
try and solve the problem ourselves and in the process, move farther away
from God and His grace.
Does our pride in “making it right ourselves” continually
distance us from God?
Before
any particular area in our life can ultimately improve, our walk with God
must come first.
There is an important verse to keep in the forefront of our minds.
”In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy
paths” (Proverbs 3:6-KJV).
You’ll find once you make a commitment to put God first, all
other areas of your life will gradually improve.
Challenges will always arise throughout life, but your perspective
will be greatly changed when you are in close fellowship with a loving
Savior .
If you have not spoken to God in a while, why not start right now?
He’s waiting to here from you.
Just think, of all the places in the universe God chose to live, He
chose to live in your heart!!
