How do you really put God first in your life?
I know we all mean well when we say we need to put God first, then our marriage, then our kids, then our friends, then our jobs, and est. But a more biblical way to “put God first” is not to set him apart from all the other areas of our life but to him first in all those other parts of our life.
So in that sense, it would be more biblical to say that we should put God first in our marriage, in our parenting, in our friendships, in our pursuit of a spouse, and est.
God is not just the most important category. God should overwhelm all categories of life. God doesn’t want to be placed in one box, even if it’s our first and most important box. Putting God first in everything is the goal, not just above everything.
