When Jimmy Carter was newly installed as the 39th President of the United States of America in 1977, he was asked by Bill Moyers, “What is the most significant discovery Jimmy Carter has made?”
President Carter flashed his famous smile and said, “This is embarrassing a little bit for me to talk about because it’s personal. But, the most significant discovery that I have made is my relationship with God through Jesus Christ.”
Jimmy Carter was the most powerful man in the free world. Every day he made decisions that affected the destiny of our nation and the world. He was busy as he sought to move our country in a new direction.
Yet, he had his priorities straight, because he recognized that his relationship with God was the most significant part of his life. I can only imagine what it is like today as Jimmy Carter is experiencing the Greatest Love of All as he encounters the God who created him, the Jesus who saved him and the Holy Spirit who wondrously guided him for 100 years on this Planet that we all call Home.
Are YOU putting God first in YOUR life? Have YOU learned the importance of developing a relationship to God in YOUR life?
When you learn the importance of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you will have learned a rule that gives real meaning to your life.
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF A BIT IRRITATED AND OVERWHELMED, IT’S A SIGN YOU’RE SPENDING LESS TIME WITH GOD AND MORE TIME WITH THIS WORLD.
