Others first? Part 2

Another part of this whole putting others first thing came into light the other day. A friend of mine told me that I was insecure because I needed assurance all the time from other people. I never saw myself that way, or thought that I was, but it made me think.........


Am I so worried about what other people think of me, that I am in a way, putting them before even my God? Is their opinion of me what rules my life and changes how I think, or is my life controlled by my Saviour?


I know its something that I def need work on, and I'm glad this person brought it up. I wonder, where do people fit in your life? Who are you really putting first?


(Aren't friends great? ;)

Others first?

Martha was a servant, and was always doing. But she worried about it, and it consumed her life and she didn't have time for the Lord because she was too busy serving. Mary chose to seek the Lord first and learn at His feet. (Luke 10:40-42)


Sometimes I wonder, am I letting service to others get in the way of my relationship with the Lord? Its easy to concentrate on the people around me and neglect my walk with the Lord. Am I helping others with their walk with God while neglecting my own?


Am I a Mary, really living close to the Lord and learning at His feet, or am I too busy with other things? What is my real priority in life? Having others as a priority above oneself is good, but am I letting them take first place, ahead of the Lord?

Just some thoughts...
