33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time – Putting God First
Welcome to It Is Well Living Church!
As committed believers, we understand the significance of putting God first in everything we do. It is on this 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time that we delve deeper into the timeless wisdom of prioritizing our relationship with our Creator. At It Is Well Living Church, we invite you to explore the profound impact of putting God first in your life and to experience the joy, peace, and fulfillment that it brings.
Putting God First: A Transformative Choice
In a fast-paced and demanding world, it can be easy to get caught up in the pressures and distractions that constantly compete for our attention. However, as followers of Christ, we are reminded of the wisdom found in Matthew 6:33, which states, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." It is in choosing to prioritize our relationship with God that we find true fulfillment and purpose.
The Joy of Prioritizing God
When we place God at the center of our lives, a remarkable transformation occurs. The joy that comes from aligning our hearts and minds with His divine will surpasses any temporary happiness the world offers. Scripture reminds us that "the joy of the Lord is our strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). This joy, which springs from an intimate connection with our Heavenly Father, sustains us through life's challenges, brings harmony to relationships, and fills our hearts with gratitude.
Discovering Inner Peace
In a world plagued by chaos and unrest, true peace is often elusive. However, when we make the conscious choice to put God first, we invite His peace to permeate every aspect of our lives. Jesus Himself said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27). By prioritizing our relationship with God, we can experience a sense of serenity that transcends our circumstances and grants us a steadfast assurance.
Fulfillment in God's Will
One of the greatest desires of the human heart is to live a life of purpose and fulfillment. When we place God first, we open ourselves up to His perfect plan for our lives. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." By seeking God's will and aligning our actions with His purposes, we find fulfillment that cannot be found anywhere else.
