THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF DOING THIS FIRST #986/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF DOING THIS FIRST

 

I had a glorious yet short-lived baseball career in my youth. Mr. Dunn from Dunn's grocery sponsored our little league hardball team. It was a summer in the middle of the 1950s when summer seemed to last forever. So I joined the team and began to learn all about baseball.

The first thing I learned is that a whole bunch of rules go along with playing the game. And if you don't keep the rules, everything falls apart. After a while, I finally found my sweet spot in baseball. Seeing that I was small in stature, the coach discovered I was really good at bunting the ball. That's when you barely hit the ball far enough so that Fred can run in from the third base and score a run while you try to make it to first base.

I can't tell you how many times I got creamed out on first base. And of all the things I learned about baseball, they first taught me that if you don't touch first base, nothing else counts. You can run all the way around and come into Homeplate, then hear the umpire shout you're out because you didn't touch first base.

Spiritually speaking, that's the same principle that works in the kingdom of God.

The father has given us so many marvelous and unbelievable things that we can enjoy and live in the midst of. Peace of mind, prosperity of soul and finances, and a happy home. Yeah, none of those things will come to their fullest development unless we touch first base first.

No wonder the scriptures tell us to seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all of these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33) It's the same principle as the farmer and the seed, and the farmer must first put the seed in the ground before he can expect to harvest.

Today is examination day. Are we putting first things first in our life? Ask the Holy Spirit that question; he's faithful to give you the correct answer.
