In Luke 24:26-27, Jesus's message is clear: "You either with me or you are not. And if you are with me, you are with me all the way." Take a moment and think about all the things God has provided for you. While God provision is one aspect of His blessings in your life, we can never let these blessings, these things, take God's place in our hearts. Jesus wants us to choose Him above everything else. In the Ten Commandments, God says we aren't suppose to have any other gods before Him. In other words, God should be the top priority in our lives. Everything else is secondary. When you make Jesus the center and focus of your life, then you have your priorities in order. Putting God first means making a lot of sacrifices, bur Jesus promises that it's worth it in the long run. Look at your daily life and do a little self-examination. Who or what do you give more attention to than God? What controls your decision? What do your actions say about your real priorities? What's really getting top billing in your life? Think about the changes you need to make in order to be in it "all the way."
