This whole God-first thing can be tricky sometimes. It means that our money doesn’t belong to us, our family doesn’t belong to us, our house doesn’t belong to us, our cars don’t belong to us, and our lives don’t belong to us. In fact, nothing truly belongs to us. All of it is perishable, given to us for a time so that we have a chance to learn right stewardship and be entrusted with things of eternal value.
When we get this priority right-letting God guide us in all of these things that deceptively appear to be ours-that is true worship. In fact, only when we do these things have we truly made the Lord our God. If we are not following God in what He says concerning these things then we are only pretending that He is our God, while really we serve something else.
