We make choices every day and we are the only one responsible for those choices. You can choose to accept the Lord in your life and obey His Word, or you can reject the Lord and serve yourself or another God. Only you can bend your knee and confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is the Lord God of your life. If you do, then only you can choose to put Him first in everything that you do. You will go to the Lord with every problem and every question you may have. As a child of God you will obey His Word and His commandments and you will become righteous. You will focus on the Word of God, the Prophets and Laws of God. The natural consequence of your choices and actions will be obedience and righteousness. The natural consequences of these actions will be that the Lord will give you everything that you need! Your job is to keep your life in the right order. Always keep the FIRST THING FIRST!
