LW: How can we know what God wants us to put first? Here, as in every matter of faith and practice, the Word of God is our all-sufficient guide.

Study 2A SOME OF GOD’’S PRIORITIES
DAYS OF HEAVEN UPON EARTH
(Scripture Portion: Matthew 6:25-34)
In this study we consider some things that God puts first in order of importance. There is a certain excitement about ‘‘first things’’. Our parents probably remembered the first time we walked or talked! Can you remember the first time you saw your need of the Lord Jesus as your personal Saviour? the first time you prayed in public? the first time you gave your testimony, led a soul to Christ? All these experiences come first in order of time; but here we are to think of things that should come first by virtue of our deliberate choice. Concerning these God says, ‘’ Seek first…’…’, for they are His priorities.
A big lesson we have to learn is that of discrimination. Many things clamour for priority, and we need to know how to assess their value and not to give the first place to secondary things. For example, the soul is more important than the body (Mark 8:36); the things of eternity are of greater importance than the things of time (Hebrews 9:27); life itself is far more important than possessions (Luke 12:15-21); moral strength is far more important than physical strength (Ephesians 6:10). Much of our trouble arises from the fact that we have reversed the order and in many cases we are “majoring in minor things and minoring in major things”. This is true nationally, religiously and individually.
How can we know what God wants us to put first? Here, as in every matter of faith and practice, the Word of God is our all-sufficient guide. Study the following ‘’first things’’:
The first and greatest commandment –- Matthew 22:36-38.
Why we love Him –- 1 John 4:19.
The prerequisite to discipleship –- Luke 14:28,31.
Where giving must begin – 2 Corinthians 8:5.
Where piety (consistent living) must begin –- 1 Timothy 5:4.
Where soul-winning must begin –- John 1:41.
Where judgment must begin –- 1 Peter 4:17.
Take a deep breathe on today's study,what are those things you set as your priorities. Are they self or God's? In next part of this study we shall be looking on the Lord's five - fold of laws of priorities. You are blessed.
