Put God first in everything you do. Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It’s a gift. I didn’t always stick with Him, but He stuck with me. Amen.
This message reminds us of the foundational principle of our faith: prioritizing God in all aspects of our lives. In a world filled with distractions and competing priorities, it can often be easy to overlook the divine presence that guides and sustains us. Recognizing that everything we have is a gift helps to cultivate a sense of gratitude and humility. Our journeys with God may not always be perfect; we may waver and stray, but the beauty of our faith lies in His unwavering commitment to us. God remains steadfast, patiently nurturing our relationship, ready to welcome us back with open arms whenever we choose to return. This devotion invites us to reflect on how we can intentionally place God at the forefront of our lives, acknowledging His blessings and grace.

Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude. I thank You for the countless blessings in my life, for every breath, every moment, and every ounce of love that surrounds me. In a world that often pulls my focus in so many directions, I ask for Your guidance to put You first in everything I do. Help me to remember that all that I have is a gift from You, a manifestation of Your grace and love.
Lord, it is so easy to become distracted and to forget the importance of prioritizing You in my daily pursuits. Forgive me for the times I have strayed from Your path. I recognize that I did not always stick with You, but I am grateful that You have always stuck with me. Your faithfulness inspires me to seek deeper intimacy with You and to trust in Your perfect plans for my life.
As I face the challenges and uncertainties of each day, help me to anchor my thoughts and actions in faith. Teach me to approach each decision, big or small, with a heart tuned to Your will. Remind me to pause and seek Your presence before making choices that could impact my relationship with You and others.
Father, may I become a vessel of Your love and grace, reflecting Your goodness in every encounter and enriching the lives of those around me. Fill me with Your wisdom, guiding my steps so that I may be a beacon of hope and encouragement for those who may struggle to see Your light in their lives. Help me to share the message of Your steadfast love, just as You have been patient with me.
I dedicate this day and every aspect of my life to You. Let Your purpose shine through me, and may I always be mindful of Your enduring presence. Thank You for your unwavering support and the gift of Your grace. I surrender my worries and fears into Your hands, trusting that You will lead me every step of the way. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
