Most of us spend our life in the “rat race”. Day by day you run from here to there in hopes to conquer your dreams. You want the house on the hill, you want the luxurious car, you want the happy relationship, you want the lavish life and you will do just about anything to get it. But there in lies the problem… what are you willing to do for the things you want? You can not make those things your God. You can not worship the blessings. You have to prioritize God. Like it is written; 

“No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

The one that you serve becomes your God. That’s why God can not take full responsibility for your life, because you are divided. Mammon is not just money, but maybe you put your girlfriend above Jesus. You put your family above Jesus. You get a job and because of the schedule you stop coming to church. A man leaves God for the sake of pleasing his wife. Etc.

You can have all the things that you want, with God. But you need to put Him first. Otherwise, you will get all the things you want and you will lose them, eventually. Without God, you are bound to lose them. 

The only way to have the blessings and keep them is to first have God. Have a solid relationship with Him and He will secure your life and your future. 

May the God of the Bible Bless You
