Him First | Pastor Darryl Morrison
In this powerful exploration of 2 Chronicles 20:1-4, we're confronted with a challenging truth: putting God first isn't just a Sunday morning declaration, but a daily, deliberate choice that shapes how we face every storm in life. King Jehoshaphat's story reveals something profound about our spiritual posture. When facing an overwhelming army just 25 miles away, his first response wasn't to strategize or panic, but to fear and then immediately set himself to seek the Lord. This teaches us that making Christ first must happen before the crisis arrives, not during it. The message challenges us to examine what we actually prioritize when storms hit. Do we check our bank accounts first? Do we seek validation from others? Do we turn to news channels or social media? The call here is to reset our spiritual posture, to literally reposition what we look at first each day. Fasting becomes not just about denying ourselves food, but about denying anything we love more than God so we can devote ourselves to the One we claim to love most. When we truly put Him first, we get a front-row seat to watch Him fight our battles. The question that lingers is haunting: In what situation should we be first and He be second? The answer reshapes everything about how we approach our faith journey.
