The First Fifteen: Grow Closer To God

โœจA Light ๐Ÿ’กin the Night๐ŸŒ™

Hey family ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’› I pray your evening is peaceful and full of REST ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโœจ You know, as BELIEVERS, no matter how long weโ€™ve walked with Jesus, weโ€™re always GROWING ๐ŸŒฟ. None of us ever โ€œarriveโ€ โ€” we just keep becoming more like Him day by day ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ”ฅ. But letโ€™s be honest, sometimes we want to get CLOSER to GOD but donโ€™t know how. We think we need to overhaul everything or wait for a spiritual breakthrough, when in reality, growth begins with CONSISTENCY ๐ŸŒ….

My pastor once said something that really stuck with meโ€”itโ€™s called โ€œThe First 15.โ€ Itโ€™s a way to start your day by giving the first 15 minutes to the LORD:

5 minutes in WORSHIP ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ,

5 minutes in the WORD ๐Ÿ“–,

5 minutes in PRAYER ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ.

Thatโ€™s itโ€”15 minutes to set your HEART on JESUS before the world sets its hands on you ๐Ÿ’ซ. It may sound simple, but developing that DISCIPLINE is POWERFUL ๐Ÿ’ฅ. Before you scroll ๐Ÿ“ฑ, sip โ˜•, or stress ๐Ÿ˜ฉ, start with the SAVIOR ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ.

Because when we give GOD our FIRST, He blesses the REST ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’–.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธScriptures to Meditate On๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

John 15:5 โ€ข Philippians 1:6 โ€ข Colossians 2:6โ€“7
