Is God first in your life? Exodus 20:3

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  Just a slight deviation from the Old Testament today.
    Exodus 20:3  "YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME!"
What are your priorities?  Mornings?  get up, shower, get dressed, breakfast or coffee, go to work, come home, get into relax clothes, putter around (hobby, clean house, wash car, etc), watch some tv, dinner, more tv, go to bed.
   What is missing here in our priorities?
          G            O             D
When God should be the main focus of our lives, HE, who holds our eternal destination in HIS hands, yet HE is not even on our radar.  What truely, then, will be the quality of our life.  vive por el momento   Live for the moment is many peoples attitude.  Don't look ahead or around, just plunder on, pleasing ourselves at the moment.
   Many times we distance ourselves from God by worshipping such things as earthly possessions or personal gratification......then we suffer.
  Exodus tells us to put no Gods before HIM, yet we do.  By doing so, we will suffer the consequences.
  Satan rushes in to encourage us to place our desires for material possessions above our love for the Father - we fall to the temptations bringing complications in our lives.  Does God rule over your heart and your home?
A PERSON'S SPIRITUAL HEALTH IS EXACTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HIS LOVE FOR GOD.  (c.s. lewis)
   Kay Arthur says, "Make God's will the focus of your life day by day. If you seek to please Him and Him alone, you'll find yourself satisfied with life."
As you establish priorities for your day and your life, God deserves first place. And you deserve he experience of putting Him there.  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
