But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33, NIV)

What does it mean to put God first in your life?

Here is a little acrostic, FIRST, to give you a gauge as to whether or not God is first in your life:

Finances.
If you want God to bless your finances, even during difficult seasons, you must tithe. Sorry! There’s no other alternative (Malachi 3:10).

Interests.
Put him first in your hobbies, your career, and your recreation. Give God first consideration in every decision (Matthew 6:33).

Relationships.
Put him first in your family, your marriage, and your friendships (Ephesians 5:18-32).

Schedule.
Give him the first part of every day. Get up and sit on the side of your bed every morning and say, “God, if I don’t get anything else done today, I just want to love you a little bit more and know you a little bit better.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Troubles.
You need to turn to God first when you have a problem. Prayer should never be your last resort. It should be your first choice. (James 1:3-5)

This is how we know if God is FIRST in our lives!

Go through each one of these Habits for Happiness and rate yourself on how much God is FIRST in your life.
