Putting God First Isn’t Optional—It’s Life
Matthew 6:33 — “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Proverbs 3:5–6 — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Deuteronomy 6:5 — “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
Colossians 3:2 — “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Joshua 24:15 — “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Luke 10:42 — “But few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Putting God first isn’t about religious routine—it’s about ruthless priority. It means deciding in advance that no ambition, relationship, fear, or convenience will outrank Him. When He’s first, everything else finds its proper place—not because you control it, but because He orders it. This isn’t sacrifice; it’s sanity.
lyrics from Zeb of Virginia Beach Church
from his song “YOURS”
Yours is the power
Yours is the love
Yours is the guidance
we pray to up above
Yours is the righteousness
Yours is the victory
Yours is the freedom and
the hope of eternity
Forever Yours and only Yours
Yours is all glory
Yours is the cornerstone
Yours is the destination
When we will make it back home
Yours is the Holy
Yours is the true
Yours is the alpha and
the omega is also You
Yours I was before
I arrived to this world
with every heartbeat
and breath and
forever more after,
I speak the truth
I am Yours. and only Yours
Yours is all wisdom
Yours is the divine.
I am Yours forever and
forever you are mine
until the end the
end of time
I am Yours. and only Yours
and from his song “Because Of You”
Because of You Dear Jesus
I have new life
Because of You Dear Jesus
I am renewed
Because of You Dear Jesus
I feel the joy
Because of You Dear Jesus
I can love you
to me you are so beautiful
Jesus you light up my life and everything
Jesus because of you my heart sings – I am free
Above it all because of You
Above it all because you’re True
Above it all to thee I sing
Above it all for all you bring
Lord, strip every rival from my heart. Help me choose You first—not just in crisis, but in calendar, thought, and allegiance. Let my life echo: “As for me, I will serve the Lord.” Amen.
Vertical painterly scene: early dawn over a quiet hilltop, a single figure facing the rising sun with arms open—not in worship pose, but in surrendered orientation, back turned to a distant city below, golden light spilling over the ridge, wild grass rippling in a gentle wind, sky vast and clear, colors warm and resolute—symbolizing decisive alignment, not emotional piety; atmosphere focused, purposeful, and full of quiet authority, no darkness, no shadows, no text.
