Whether we are pursuing our cherished creatures or following the crucified Christ, may we never lose our way.
Ah, firsts. It’s amazing how these now normal or even mundane tasks and activities stick with us the first time they show up in our lives. I can still recall my first bass, deer, squirrel, turkey, alligator, duck, polar bear. OK, maybe I still have a few firsts yet to go.
Have you ever considered how important first's are:
The first time you fell in love.
Your first kiss.
Your first varsity game or contest.
First time your child said "Dada" or "Mama".
The first day of high school.
Your (or your child’s) first kill or catch.
Your first car or truck.
Proverbs 3:9-10 says Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
God made first's to be special in our lives because they are special to Him. When speaking of giving to God, King Solomon instructs us to "give Him the first and the best."
In all parts of your life, give God your first's. We can do this by giving Him the first part of your day through prayer and study. It’s a good habit to get begin. We can give Him the first part of your week by going to church and sharpening others while being refined by God’s people. The first part of your paycheck is also a good place to start..
Remember how important first's are to you and know that they are just that special to God. Give God your first's and see if He doesn't "burst your barn."
