5 Minutes of Focus 

"1st With God"

SOMEBODY: All you ever wanted was to come 1st with your spouse. 

All you ever wanted was to come 1st, be chosen 1st by that high school coach who  seemed to always pick somebody else and  give them a chance to shine, but never you.

Growing up even, playing kid games, the kids always chose someone else to be on their team.

You were never picked 1st, never chosen 1st...You never came 1st.

You're so tired of being an after thought, if a thought at all in the minds of those who should know better and treat you better.

Beloved,  I know it hurts, but God wants you to know:

HE DID CHOOSE YOU 1ST....He has not forgotten you or overlooked you for someone else.

For the bible says:

Even BEFORE he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 

Ephesians 1:4 NLT 

You know what that tells me?

It tells me that God chose you 1st....Then he made the world. The world DID NOT come 1st. YOU came 1st, which means there is NOTHING in the world more important to God than YOU.

The message bible puts it like this: Long BEFORE he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.

Ephesians 1:3‭-‬6 MSG 

He had us in mind...

which means he had YOU in mind..He chose you 1st.

As a matter of fact, Jeremiah 29:11 NKJ talks about the thoughts God thinks toward you...Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Why? Because you matter to God more than this world, more than giving the earth its foundation.

You come 1st in the eyes of God.

Therefore, Be healed of the pain others caused, when they chose not to pick you, to not put you 1st.

Until Next Sunday.
