"NUMBER ONE"

God gave us a body to move throughout this world, and
a mind to think and choose between good and evil.
He gave us a mouth to worship and a heart to love and
To keep all the nice things we love in this life:
Our families, friends, our work, entertainment
( sports, music, movies ) and God.
Of course, the list does not have to be in this order!
No? Then, in which order should it go?
Well, think a little, God should be first!
Yes! That is true, but … do we do it?
Not always we leave God at the end of our list?
The day pass, and we never got to the last in our list!
We did not have time for God! Weird, is not it?
The next day, we begin with the first one again:
Entertainment, work, work, work, family, and God!
No! Not me you may say, The first thing I do is to pray in the
morning to God and all his saints so I may have a good day!
That is nice, but when you are referring to the saints,
who is first, the saints, or God?
God of course!
Very well my friend! That is the way it should be!
God said: Do not put other “gods” before me. Exodus 20.
And that is something we should always consider not to do!
We must always give the first place to God in our lives, so,
He could bless us with his best blessings.
I think it would be better not to have him at all in our list,
like the atheists do, than to have Him forgotten at the end!
God knows us like an open book, however…
We have to open his book to know Him!
Read the Bible, know the Lord!
Your life will be truly blessed!
He gave us a heart to love!
Open it up and invite Him to live in it!

Praise the Lord!
