Put First Things First!

Life Lesson: Put First things First!

S - Scripture     

Matthew  2 v. 11  And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh.     

O - Observation              

It's interesting to note the order of events by the wise men. First, they worshiped him. Then they gave gifts. Which makes me think, God doesn't need our money and gifts, but he wants our hearts. We need to do 1st things 1st, which is to give him our hearts. Its to praise and thank him for all that he has done and will do for us. Out of that, it will be natural for us to open our treasures and give him our gifts, whether is time, talent or treasure.  

   

A - Application            

Do I have my order down? What is my motive for Giving?  

P - Prayer  

Jesus, Thanks for coming to Earth for my salvation.  Love Will.
