PUT THE WORD FIRST

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.”
Proverbs 4:7-8 (KJV)
Main Text:

The foundational secret to getting ahead in this world, is to put the Word of God first place in your daily life. You see the Bible is not just a textbook, a storybook, or a history book. It’s a handbook for living. It’s the wisdom of the Almighty God written down so that you can apply it to your everyday life.

God says wisdom is the principal thing. Principal means “first in importance” that means the Word of God needs to occupy the place of highest importance in all of your activities. You’ll be amazed at what happens in your life if you give God’s Word priority. But let me warn you, don’t wait until you think you have the time. Satan will see to it that you never do.

Invest your time in the Word and watch that investment yield profit in every area of your life. Putting God’s word first, guarantees your success in life.

 

Confession: I am not passive about anything, I set God’s Word as priority in my life. God’s Word is final authority and it says, I am righteous, therefore, I am righteous, it says I am blessed, therefore, I am blessed. Glory to God.

Further Reading: Josh 1:8 (KJV) “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

James 1:22-24 (MSG) “Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don't act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.”

Read through the Bible: 2 Chronicles 29 & Revelation 15
