Put God First

One of the scriptures that have helped me so much through the years is found in Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew 6V31-33:

“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

Life is busy. There are very real things we are concerned about, and our heavenly Father understands this! But we must put God and the things of God first… and everything else falls into place. The very first step in putting order into our lives is to put God and his will first. This requires great faith, but as we trust God and put him first, our faith will increase because God always come through. He never fails.


有一個經文，這么多年來幫助我越過許多的挑戰。耶穌的“登山寶訓”
馬太6V31 - 33 ：

所以不要憂慮說、吃甚麼、喝甚麼、穿甚麼。這都是外邦人所求的．你們需用的這一切東西、你們的天父是知道的。你們要先求他的 國、和他的義這些東西都要加給你們了。

生活是忙碌的。我們關心的是非常實際的事情，我們的天父也明白這一點！但是，我們必須把上帝和上 帝的事情放在生命的第一...和其他一切屬於它們的地方。第一步，就是把上帝和上帝的旨意放在我們的生活秩序的首位。

這需要極大的信心，但正如我們相信上帝，凡是以他為先，我們的信心就會增加，因為上帝總是會帶領我們越過。他從來沒有失敗和缺乏。
