Let’s Put Jesus First In Our Lives!

Larry — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:40:35 +0000

“The World All About Me” is my favorite song in our hymnal. It is also know as “I’ll Put Jesus First In My Life.” It was written by James DeForrest Murch back in the 1930′s. I want to use the verses and the chorus to write some short devotionals.

All of us have priorities in life. We all have “anchors” in our lives. Every priority and anchor that is not grounded in the Lord Jesus will only last through this life. We all need something or someone in our lives that will lead to eternal life.

The chorus reads as follows: “In all that I say, in all that I do, throughout the world of toil and strife, by day and by night, through trust in His might, I’ll put Jesus first in my life.”

Notice that the intent of this chorus is not half-hearted commitment. It is giving one’s all to a life of dedicated, faithful service. We are reminded that life is not always a “bed of roses,” but life is many times up and down, and full of all kinds of emotions and feelings. But we can rest assured that we have One who loves us, One who keeps His Word and wants us to have an abundant life in Him. Paul, in writing to the Ephesians said, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished upon us…” (Eph. 1:8-9a ESV)

We have the promise that no matter what time of the day, He is always there for us. We can count on the promise of the Great Commission “Lo, I am with you always…” If we always seek to put Jesus first in our lives, He will equip us for service

Say NO To Ungodliness

The Apostle Paul, in Titus 2:11-14, tells his readers how to live in expectation of the return of the Lord Jesus! We are instructed in Titus 2:12 to “deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.” We must say NO to the attractions of the “world.”

The hymn writer put it this way, “The world all about me has now no allure, it pleasures bring pain, its wisdom is vain. I seek a foundation that’s steadfast and sure; I’ll put Jesus first in my life!”

All of Paul’s instructions in Titus 2:1-10 can be summed up in Tit. 2:12. Believers must refuse any action that lacks reverence for God. Ungodliness means a lack of love or total disregard for God (Rom. 1:18). We live in an age when many totally reject God’s influence in any area of their lives. Christians must renounce that attitude. Worldly passions are desires for the pleasures and activities of this world.

We are to always see His Kingdom first! (Matthew 6:33)
