PUT THE WORD FIRST
“Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. If you prize wisdom, she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will honor you.”
Prov 4:7-8 (NLT)

The key to genuine success in this world is remarkably simple: "Put the Word of God first place in your life." The Bible isn't just a textbook, storybook, or history book—it's a handbook for living. It encapsulates the wisdom of Almighty God, providing guidance for applying it to your everyday circumstances.
God emphasizes that wisdom is of utmost importance. "Principal" means being first in importance. Therefore, the Word of God should hold the highest significance in all your activities. This will leave an indelible mark on your life.
You'll witness astonishing transformations when you prioritize God's Word. Don't procrastinate delving into the Word, as Satan may ensure you never find the time. Invest your time in the Word first, and you'll soon experience the dividends paying off in every area of your life.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I decide to give Your Word priority, open me up to the wonders in Your Word, in Jesus name, Amen.

Rom 12:1-2 (NLT) “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
