I play word games with some friends. This morning I played the first word of a new game. At least I tried to do so. The tiles were not properly placed on the board, so the game would not allow me to send my move until I had corrected that mistake. It turned out that I misplaced the first letter, therefore every letter after that was in the wrong place.

This is how it goes with our lives. If we don’t put God in the right place in our lives, everything else is wrong. If nothing in your life is right, you need to start by putting God where he belongs—in first place.

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”—Matthew 6:33.
