Putting Jesus First
Posted on Oct 29, 2019 in From Pastor Gary | 0
QUESTION 1: Am I trusting and leaning on God or myself?
- Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.
How am I doing on living out the reality of these truths? Give yourself a score from 1-10: 1 being not good at all and 10 being I am rocking it!
- God is the source of all good and He wants to provide for me.
- I don’t have to worry because I believe that God will meet all of my needs
- I trust God and then look to see how He wants me to partner with Him.
When we fully believe those statements we will live accordingly. Our actions will line up with what we say we believe.
Our minds, like the needle of the compass, can focus on many things during the course of the day. But in the end when it is left to settle it will settle on the objects of our greatest affection.
- God
- Your job
- Your family
- Your girlfriend or boyfriend
- Athletic pursuits/Sports
- Money
- Personal accomplishments
- Personal possessions
- Other ______________________________________
The person who serves no other gods but God will find that his thoughts usually swing around until they focus on God. He thinks about God, meditates on his truths.
Circle the one that is number 1.
- I live to please myself
- I live to impress others
- I live to impress God.
We have only one life to live and at the end we will stand before God and give account for it.
Having done the test what do you need to do to make Jesus number 1?
