God better not be first.

I have to give credit to where credit is due. Recently I was listening to a message from Paul Washer on the Holiness of God. In that message he was talking about how God is incomparable to anything else. He contrasted the highest cherub that sits around the throne of God and the smallest single cell creature in the waters, and he made the statement that the cherub is not more like God than the single-cell creature - they both are incomparable to God. God reveals Himself in ways that we can relate to, but still He is not like us.

Anyway, in the message, he mentions how God is not supposed to be "first" in our lives - as if something else could be "second" and competing with God for first. God is supposed to be the ONLY thing in our lives. I recently read or heard a quote, and I can't seem to find its source, but its premise was: Any conversation of which Jesus Christ is not the central theme of the conversation, is a wasted talk. Our lives should be completely about Jesus Christ. Everything that we do, even if it is just us eating or drinking, should be done for the glory of God.
