Loving God First.

-Meditation-

1 Samuel 2:27-29

²⁷ Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Did I not clearly reveal myself to your father's house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh? ²⁸ I chose your father out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your father's house all the offerings made with fire by the Israelites. ²⁹ Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?'

Hello all, I just want to talk about this scripture with you for a few moments, and really look in at what the LORD would say to us through it, and concerning it.

First before you go on why don't you read again the scripture posted up top.

I will let the Word speak for itself, we see that the LORD revealed Himself CLEARLY to Eli's house, and called them to a place of honor, and yet they did not honor the LORD more than anything.

Eli and his sons had little honor for the LORD even though they were priests to the LORD. I also see that a lot of people even in the body of Christ are like this. They have been called to the Light, and are children of God, and they go to church, but they honor their ways of being 'good Christians' even more than they honor God, and I am not speaking of any person specifically, I just believe that this is an evil spirit going throughout the church that is attacking believers.

We are called to be people who honor God FIRST. We are called to LOVE HIM FIRST, and to not let anything, or anyone else get in the way of that. Let's run after God with love in our hearts.

I believe this is the most important thing for us as God's people to do, and I believe Jesus even made this clear while He was on earth, and that is to love the LORD our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The LORD is looking for men, and women who will walk in this high calling, and be found in His LOVE.

Let's be found in LOVE with our First Love Jesus Christ.
