Jesus has earned the right to be first in every single thing. He should be first in our hearts every morning, the first Person we consider, and the King we seek to follow and honor and love in all that we do. To the extent that we do that, our lives are infused with purpose and peace and steeped in His amazing promises.

But if you are like me, not every day is like that. We can go long stretches with Jesus on the side. Maybe we aren't praying much, reading much, or saying his name in the world in which we live. But it is His world. And we are His. These truths should lead the way every single day and in everything we say and do.

So how does that work? How do we start with Jesus? Let's dig in on how looking to Christ can help you overcome discouragement, bring peace to a busy life, renovate the way you pray, and bring Scripture to life. 

- Why should Jesus be the leader of every aspect of your life?

- What does that look like on a morning to morning basis?

- What if you life was patterned, first, after the cadence of Jesus' daily life?

- Have you read the Scriptures simply to find the Son of God?

- Do you know the confidence that is found in His strength instead of your own?
