"How do you decide who goes first?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tel his story!

You quickly learned as a child that there are two situations in life—"me-first!" and "you-go-ahead." And you discovered that there’s a huge difference between the two.

You learned to yell "Me first" when you heard the ice cream truck coming down the street or choosing sides for basketball or Grandma was serving chocolate cake. You screamed "me first!" because you wanted the best selection, the best player, or the biggest piece.

But as a child you also learned that there were some situations where you definitely don't want to be first. These were the "you-go-ahead" situations. You said, "You go ahead" to avoid the last serving of brussel sprouts or to let someone else jump first in the creek in early spring or to take a bath. You enjoyed knowing that you put it off as long as you could.

Some days are "me first" days and other days are "you-go-ahead" ones. God has already gone ahead of you into this day and prepared the way for you. So relax, let God go first, and make a life, not just a living today.
