Why You Keep Putting God Last (And How to Stop)

Why God Keeps Getting Your Leftovers You say God comes first. But your phone gets your first attention, your worries get your first thoughts, your plans get your best energy, and God gets whatever is left. In this video, we look at why God keeps getting your leftovers, even when you truly want to put Him first. This is not only about being busy. Scripture reveals a deeper issue: what gets your first attention, first trust, first obedience, and first love. We’ll look at Matthew 6:33, Haggai 1, and the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 to understand how God slowly becomes last in the life of someone who still says He matters most. Maybe putting God first does not begin with adding Him to your schedule. Maybe it begins with admitting what has been first instead.
