Thought For Today

The First Thing First


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 7th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 11:26:

”Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:…”

Then we go down to verse 32:

”And you shall be careful to observe all the statutes and judgements which I set before you today.”

Then we go to the New Testament, Matthew 6:33:

”But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

I read a very interesting quotation in a book from a man of God. He says, ”We need have only one care, that we put the first thing first, faithfulness to God, then all else we need for both worlds will be supplied. God will never fail us, but we forget sometimes in our rejoicing over such an assurance, that we must fulfil our part if we would claim the divine promise.” Folks, the choice is not God’s, the choice is ours. If we put the Lord first in our lives, then He will take care of the rest. Yes, we will have challenges, we will have ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we will prevail because His word is sure, it is true, and it never fails!

I want to encourage you today to sit down quietly and have a look at your life and see if you are indeed putting God first - Jesus first, then your family and then everything else, in that order. If you do that, you will not fail because the Lord will ensure that you succeed and that you prosper. Jesus Christ is the guide in our lives, nothing else. Today, let us focus on serving Him with all our hearts and then we will see with our eyes how He will bless us as He has just told us, and we will succeed.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. 
Goodbye.
