FIRST THINGS FIRST
Today's reading:  Proverbs 1

"Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.  Only fools despise wisdom and discipline."  Proverbs 1:7 NLT

Where to begin?

That's the question asked of anyone wanting to attempt something big:  reach a new goal, complete a large task, conquer a task or overcome an obstacle.

Today's proverb tells us it all starts with a proper respect, awe and dependence on God.

The first commandment verifies the importance by telling us God is the God, the only God deserving our worship, praise and admiration.

So, what you're wanting to achieve today--can you arrange the steps to accomplishing it by placing God, your service, love and desire for Him in first place?

When we put first things first, Him, success awaits us!
