Is He First?

David...sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the might God of Jacob; Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to mine yes, or slumber to mine eyelids, Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.*

How many days do I go through without finding out a place for Him! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we would drop everything that we have going on until we are certain He is first in it all and say, as David,
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest...

Even more wonderful: For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he has desired it for his habitation. He wants us! He wanted us first!


Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16


We love Him, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:18
