God First

 "Whenever you face a decision, you first can ask yourself a very dangerous question: "If I choose this, am I seeking to please the Lord, or am I seeking to satisfy myself?" Fr. Mike Schmitz   

Mic drop. 

 I have been hearing this question throughout today. 

Am I seeking myself or God? 

We have so many decisions to make each day but all of our decisions come down to answering this one question.

Me or God? 

What decision will I choose to make? 

"The knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary. The knot which...Eve tied up by her unbelief, the Virgin Mary opened by her belief." St. Irenaeus 

Blessed Mother, help guide us to your Son! 

We aren't always going to be perfect in all of our decisions but the hope is that we will try to be.

Seek the Holy Spirit to help make the right decisions throughout each day.

"Guided by conscience, he "reaches forward to something beyond self, and dimly discerns a sanction higher than self for his decisions." St. John Henry Newman 

God first.
