Is Jesus First?
If you read my writings for any length of time, you will probably notice recurring themes. It seems like God often takes me through journeys and reminds me of things and I then take it upon myself to remind you. 🙂
Lately, I have been again challenged to make sure there is nothing in my life that is taking the place of Jesus. One thing that is so easy to fall into is the place where we spend time telling people about our “prayer requests” instead of actually praying for them. This does not fulfill the same purpose. Granted, there are times when we need others to intercede for us if we’re not breaking through but, for a lot of people, it seems like asking for prayer is a way to complain or to gossip or to get others to feel sorry for us. That is not the purpose of the Body of Christ.
Going to God directly should be our first response. Then, if we have prayer warriors who can pray with us, we can call them. That’s one area I would start in examining if Jesus is first in your life. He is the only One who never fails us. Let’s make sure we’re giving Him the time and attention He deserves.
