GPP 64: Putting The Lord First

What a world for the wholly committed!
For them, Jesus comes first in ev’rything;
Whatever projects, Bible-permitted,
They undertake, they know success will bring!
Each dollar invested returns millions!
Such a man might easily own whole earth;
He does not buy swankier pavilions,
But gives it away to those with no worth!
Commitment means more than cursory love;
It requires all one’s body, mind and soul:
Of all he has, the Lord is ranked above—
Spouse and family, possessions, the whole!
It is easy to say, “My Lord comes first”;
But to put Him there, few scarcely durst!

Promise Made: Proverbs 16:3 (Solomon writes)
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.” (NIV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
