Is He First

I have a blind spot. I really thought I was putting Jesus first. I was not. I was putting others first. My vertical relationship with God was coming second to my horizontal relationship with people. I love to bless people, I love the anointing of writing something and sharing it, to encourage others, to inspire them. This anointing comes from being full of God, it comes from no other place but abundance in Him. The blessing of God that flows from me to others is an overflow of my relationship with Him. My blind spot was the flip-flop of ministry and personal relationship. The priority was the sharing and caring of people, not the intimate relationship with God. He was second. How crazy is that? I lost my first love and I did not even see it. I had drifted away from personal and was all works. It is good, right? Working for Jesus?! Good, but not the best, Jesus is the best. He was in all of the caring, we connected then, there was worship in all of that, there was love in all of that, there was connection in all of that, there was dependence in all of that, but it was through caring for others. My worship, my heart-to-heart worship, my everyday loving of God first, that was sacrificed to caring. I am not the savior; I am the saved. I am not the deliverer; I am the delivered. I am not the fixer, God is. Somewhere along the path of getting busy for God, I lost that heart of worship, reverence and awe of God, I was busy being the savior, deliverer and fixer, none of which I could do without Him. Before anything else, even good things, God must be first. Stay heart to heart with God, make it personal, intimate and be still and know He is God. Bow in awe of Him and express your reverence.
