Colossians 1:18 KJV
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
My thoughts today were pretty simple; if Christ is not first in our lives, can it really be said that He is God in our lives at all?
This is the battle that is waged in our souls day by day. Is Christ God in our lives or not? Satan accomplished a huge thing when he convinced Eve to eat that fruit and become as gods, knowing good and evil. That knowledge drives a wedge between us and the Lord every day. The lost are blinded by that knowledge so that they do not see Christ as Lord. The saint of God has recognized the Saviour and even knows the evil of his flesh, but he still battles with that flesh constantly.
So the battle I fight is the battle to die daily; the battle to give Christ first spot in all things in my life.
