Highest Place

I have been thinking a lot lately about keeping Christ in the highest place in our life. The chorus I am in, is singing the song Highest Place, among other songs of thankfulness to Christ. For me it can be a struggle to keep Christ in the highest place and rely fully on him no matter what I am going thru. It is so easy for me to put self on the throne of my life, instead of Christ. Then I don't spend as much time digging into God's Word and things don't go smoothly. Not saying that we won't have troubles when leaning on Christ, but by leaning on Him, we take our problems to Him and we have a peace that we just won't have when we take things into our own hands.

In order for us to put Christ first, we can't just spend time with him, once a week at church, or only for a few minutes in our devotional. It has to be a constant, all day thing. We can't just stick Christ into one compartment of our lives. He has to be there in every aspect of what we do. Christ's life and God's Word should be the guide by which we live our life. By putting Christ first, it gives us peace about decisions we have to make, and also helps us for when we are going thru some trial. Although it can be a struggle to keep Christ first, it is well worth the effort it takes ;) May God bless you as continue on your walk with Him and keep Him first in your life.
