Today in the One Year Bible we read from Matthew 10:24-11:6. Jesus is telling us the cost of following Him. He says that we must love Him more than we love our parents, our other family members... even our own lives.
Not easy to do! He continually pushes us out of our comfort zones and makes us reexamine our lives to see what our greatest priorities are. Putting Him first will often cause problems in our relationships, but putting Him first will also put everything and everyone into the right places in our lives. Our lives will become rightly ordered, and we will function much better than we do when our priorities are in the wrong order.
Let's strive to put Him first today.
God, thank you for showing us how to put You first. Help us to do it every day.
