Should one place 'family first' before ministering to other people?

Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

What a wonderful question and even better answers, how blessed we are to read God's wisdom at work!

When Jesus taught this verse, to love God our Heavenly Fathers, this was to honor the Holiness which He provides. I've asked myself, "How should I honor God?" that question truthfully has been answered by the provisions God allows. To honor God, to show our love and thankfulness which is provided stands before us each day. We have health to work, we have a job that provides, we have shelter to protect our loved ones, and most of all God will allow our lives to be organized. By taking advantage of gifts He provides, we too will provide for our families and show physical gratitude toward God's provisions.

The Lord is providing for us to provide for others, the circle never ends till the call of Lord. We all have a gift, through discipline, organizing, and staying focused on God's word we express the truth everywhere. Never should we believe God asks us not to provide for our families, but believe God will place you where people need your help verbally and silently, without sacrificing the provisions our families rely on. God Bless and hope this helps?
