Keeping God First
By Peggy Banks, Director of Leadership Development
It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! Psalm 92:1-5, NIV
As we continue to grow in faith and godliness, let's consider as leaders how we can walk worthy of the calling. God desires for us to put Him first in all we do for the Kingdom. Are we intentional about our growth in faith? In what ways do you feel you are putting God first each and every day?
Take a few minutes today to reading and meditate on the suggested devotion for leaders. Meet with a few friends or co-workers and go through this easy, thought-provoking discussion. God has something wonderful for you today. Let's commit to go deeper and grow in godliness together.
