When Christ has first place in our lives, we will experience many blessings. These include a …
Quiet spirit. As we turn our attention to the Lord and meditate on His Word, He “leads us beside quiet waters,” where we find rest for our soul (Ps. 23:2). The Holy Spirit will help us shut out the “noise” of worldly distractions so He can provide assurance of our Father’s love and support. With a quieted heart and mind, we will be able to discern what God is saying to us.
Stronger faith. Studying the Scriptures will enlarge our view of God and give us insight and direction. Reading how the Lord has helped others, we will gain confidence that He is at our side, enabling us to meet life’s demands. Our faith will grow as we follow His direction and watch how He works on our behalf.
Purified heart. Like a mirror, the Bible reflects back to us who we truly are and reveals where we need to change. When we confess our sin, God promises to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Prepared mind. We don’t know what’s in our tomorrows, but God does. He wants to prepare us for the future—both the joyous times and the hard ones. Through the Holy Spirit’s ministry, we will be equipped for whatever life brings (2 Peter 1:3).
Paul’s life demonstrates what it means to give Jesus first place. Because the apostle made Christ the Lord of his life (Gal. 2:20), he knew joy amidst trials and received the strength to face turmoil and difficulty. These blessings will also be ours when we make relationship with Jesus our highest goal.

FOLLOWING THESE AMAZING PEOPLE
Rip tides are strong currents that can be deadly if you do not know the simple rule for getting out of them.
Isn’t that how life is? We go out for a quiet walk on life’s beautiful beach when disaster unexpectedly hits and we find ourselves in a circumstantial riptide and drowning in life’s trouble.
Like the riptide that allows you to escape by simply swimming parallel to the shore, there is a Life Savior always available to save us from the perils of this world. Not only can Jesus throw us a life saver when we get in over our heads, He offers free spiritual swimming lessons that will help keep us out of trouble to begin with. He is a life savor and our Ultimate Life Savior. (John 6: 16-21)
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. -Jesus
“Lord, we do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
