If we put God first and something or someone else is second, He is not pleased. The Lord is to have preeminence in our lives. We love God only. We must surrender our affections to the Lord. When this is accomplished, God will allow us to love others according to His will. His desire is not that we love others for our sakes, but for His sake and in Him. Likewise, when our concentration is on our issues, situations and cares of this life more than on God, we enter into the sin of worry. We should always exit the church in obedience to God's word. In doing so, we will realize that the Lord bids us to cast our cares upon Him for he cares for us. He bids us to take no thought for our lives because God will take care of us. However we must seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all the things will be added to our lives. God knows what we have need of. He supplies all our need according to His riches in glory by, in and through Christ Jesus. We should begin to thank the Lord for supplying our needs exceedingly, abundantly and above all that we can ask or think according to the power that works in us. It is essential that we stand on God's word and remember that although every day carries its own weight, God gives grace and strength sufficient for each day.
Remember to remain in the place of grace. Remain in the place by Jesus.
