Let the Lord be your First Love

Let the Lord be your "First Love", and always keep Him in that place! (Revelation 2:4)

For Christ to be valued at all, He must be valued above all! You must seek first the King and His Kingdom!--And to seek first means foremost and above all!--Before everything else, above everything else, beyond everything else and more than anything else! The first place must belong to Him!

The most important time you have to spend is with the Lord! To neglect your fellowship with the King of kings because you're so busy with the affairs of the kingdom can be disastrous to your spiritual life and communion with the Lord! "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me." (Exo.20:3)--Not even His service!--Nor even lost souls! So it behooves us to give God a little time, and we should give Him some time every day!--Every single day!

If you'll just put the Lord first and delight yourself in Him most of all, then He can trust you with other things, because they will not come between you and the Lord. They will not supersede nor overshadow nor distract, but they will supplement and be a help and merely augment your service to Him!--And all things shall be added unto you by His power and His strength and His might and in His time! (Psa.37:4; Mat.6:33)
