the path. He protects the mission. He covers what’s behind you and

what’s ahead.

God’s not asking to be part of your life. He’s asking to be

in it.

He doesn’t just lead you; He

you.

Exodus 20:3-5 (TLB):
3 “You may worship no other god than me. 4 “You shall not make yourselves any idols: no images of animals, birds, or fish. 5 You must never bow or worship it in any way; for I, the Lord your God, am very possessive. I will not share your affection with any other god!…

Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

I. HOW YOU

YOUR WEEK MATTERS.

Genesis 1:1-2 (NLT)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.[a] 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

“God, you’re not an afterthought. You are my

Psalm 92:1-2 (NLT)

You can’t ask God to

your week if you haven’t given Him the first day of it.

II. WHEN GOD IS FIRST, HIS

IS FIRST.

Joshua 3:3-6 (NASB)
3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it… 5 Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do miracles among you.” 6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.

Why? Because when God goes first, the

becomes passable.

The Ark went ahead of them and

a way through what should have stopped them.

God’s presence doesn’t just go before you; it

a path for you.

Exodus 33:15 (NASB)
15 Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.

It’s not a routine; it’s a

to get under the covering of God’s presence.

III. YOU CAN’T PUT GOD FIRST WITHOUT TAKING SOMETHING ELSE OUT OF FIRST.

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Let’s be honest, putting God first often means

something else from first place.

What’s

with God for first in your life?

Is it:
Your

Your

Your

Your

Exodus 20:3 (NASB)
3 “You shall have no other gods [a]before Me.
Let’s be clear: Anything you consult before you consult God is your god.

When you put God first:

Your

are healthier.

Your peace is

.

Your

Your joy is more

.

If you’re putting God second, don’t expect first-place

.

IV. GOD’S POSITION IN YOUR LIFE DETERMINES YOUR

TO HIS POWER.

Genesis 1:1 (NASB)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:2 (NASB)
2 And the earth was a [a]formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the [b]surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the [c]surface of the waters.

If your life feels chaotic and void, it might be because God is not in the right
