Put Christ First

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

In a Berlin art gallery is a painting by German painter Adolf Menzel (1815-1905), only partially finished. It was intended to show Fredrick the Great speaking with some of his generals.

Menzel painted the generals and the background, but the left the king until last. He drew the outline of Fredrick in charcoal, but died prior to finishing the painting.

Many Christians come to the end of life without ever having put Christ into his proper place; center stage.

Today, put Christ first in your life. Don’t go out the door until you do. Tomorrow, do the same thing, and then every day following. You will be amazed how your life will change when your priorities do.
