Welcome to Prophecy Investigators Devotional: 'Put God First'
Welcome to today's Prophecy Investigators Devotional, "Put God First." As we navigate the complexities of our world and the prophetic significance of our times, it's essential to remember the foundational principle that can guide us through it all—putting God first in every aspect of life. Whether you're listening in the morning, during a quiet moment in your day, or in the evening, I encourage you to open your heart and mind to how God can take the lead in all areas of your life.
Opening Prayer: Seeking God’s Wisdom and Presence
Let's begin with a word of prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today seeking Your wisdom and presence in our lives. As we reflect on what it means to put You first, we ask that You open our hearts and minds to Your Word. Guide us as we seek to align every part of our lives—our work, our families, our finances, and our relationships—with Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.

Putting God First in Daily Life: Prioritizing God in Every Moment
One of the most important teachings of Scripture is found in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." This verse provides us with a powerful reminder of what it means to truly put God first in our daily lives.
In the midst of the busyness of our everyday routines—whether it's handling responsibilities, fulfilling commitments, or even managing crises—it’s easy to lose sight of our relationship with God. But what if we began each day by making a conscious choice to prioritize Him?
Consider these practical ways to put God first in your daily life:
Start Your Day with Prayer and the Word: Even a few minutes spent with God each morning can set the tone for the rest of your day. It’s a way of saying, "Lord, You come first."
Invite God into Your Daily Routine: Whether you’re driving to work, managing a household, or facing decisions, take time to speak with God throughout the day. He is ever-present.
End Your Day with Reflection: As the day closes, take a moment to reflect on God’s faithfulness and seek His guidance for tomorrow.
When we put God first, we are not just managing life’s tasks—we are anchoring ourselves in the source of all wisdom, strength, and peace.

Putting God First in Devotion and Quiet Time: Cultivating Solitude with God
In our fast-paced world, finding moments of quiet solitude with God can be challenging, but it is in these moments that we hear His voice most clearly. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still, and know that I am God." It's a reminder that sometimes, the greatest act of putting God first is simply being still.
Here are a few suggestions to cultivate your quiet time with God:
Set a Regular Time: Consistency in spending time with God helps develop a rhythm of devotion. It could be in the early morning or late at night—whenever you find your quietest moments.
Create a Space for Solitude: Whether it’s a quiet corner of your home or a favorite spot outside, having a designated place to meet with God can help you focus on Him alone.
Listen as Much as You Speak: In our devotion, we often speak to God through prayer, but we must also listen. What is God saying to you in this season? Make space to hear His voice.
This quiet time with God isn’t just about adding another task to our day—it’s about building a relationship that transforms every other part of our life.

Putting God First in Work Life and Career: Reflecting God’s Principles in the Workplace
Putting God first extends beyond our personal time into our professional lives as well. Colossians 3:23-24 encourages us: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Whether you’re a business leader, an employee, or self-employed, your work is an opportunity to reflect God’s kingdom principles.
Here’s how you can put God first in your career:
Work with Integrity: Strive for honesty and diligence in everything you do, knowing that your work ultimately serves God, not just man.
Seek God’s Direction in Career Decisions: Are you at a crossroads in your career? Pray about every significant decision, trusting that God has a plan for your future that is filled with purpose.
Be a Light in Your Workplace: You don’t need a pulpit to minister. Your actions, attitudes, and interactions at work can be a powerful testimony of God's love.
Your work is not just a means to an end—it’s an extension of your faith, a place where God can move through you to make a difference.
Putting God First in Financial Life: Honoring God with Your Resources
Money is a significant part of our lives, and Scripture gives us clear instructions on how to honor God in this area. Proverbs 3:9-10 tells us, "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."
Here’s how you can put God first in your financial life:
Tithe and Give Generously: Our giving reflects our trust in God’s provision. By offering the first of our income back to Him, we acknowledge that everything we have comes from Him.
Be a Wise Steward: God entrusts us with resources, and we are responsible for managing them wisely—budgeting, avoiding unnecessary debt, and saving for the future.
Trust God’s Provision: In uncertain financial times, it can be easy to worry, but when we put God first, we trust in His promise to meet our needs.
By honoring God with our finances, we not only experience His provision but also position ourselves to be a blessing to others.
Putting God First in Relationships and Family: Building Bonds Rooted in God’s Love
Finally, let’s talk about putting God first in our relationships and family. Whether it’s our spouse, children, or friends, relationships thrive when they are rooted in God’s love.
Here are ways you can prioritize God in your relationships:
Pray Together as a Family: Regular family prayer invites God’s presence into your home and strengthens the bonds between family members.
Lead by Example: Whether you’re raising children or mentoring others, the way you live your life speaks louder than words. Model what it looks like to put God first.
Communicate with Love and Grace: In Ephesians 4:29, we are encouraged to speak words that build others up. Let your communication with family and friends reflect God’s love and kindness.
Prioritize Time Together: Life can get busy, but make sure to spend intentional time with your loved ones. By placing God at the center of these relationships, you’ll find peace, unity, and joy.
Our relationships are a reflection of our relationship with God. When we put Him first in our families and friendships, His love shines through, bringing healing, restoration, and growth.

Salvation Prayer: Inviting Jesus into Your Heart
Before we close in prayer, I want to extend an invitation to anyone who may be seeking a deeper relationship with God or who may not yet know Him personally. If you’ve felt a stirring in your heart today and want to put God first in your life, the first step is to invite Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior.
If you’re ready to take that step, please pray this prayer with me:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the name of Jesus. I admit that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that He rose again on the third day. I invite Jesus to come into my heart and life as my Lord and Savior. I choose to follow You and put You first in all that I do. Thank You for saving me and giving me the gift of eternal life.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
If you prayed that prayer for the first time, welcome to the family of God. Your decision to follow Jesus is the most important one you will ever make, and it’s the first step in living a life that truly honors God.
