How do we know that God wants us to serve Him first?

Answered in 1 source

God's desire for us to serve Him first is clearly seen in His call to the Israelites to rebuild the temple, as recorded in Haggai.

In Haggai 1:4-5, God confronts His people about their misplaced priorities, asking, 'Is it time for you to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?' This query emphasizes God's expectation that His people prioritize His worship and service above their personal comforts. The Israelites had neglected their duty, focusing instead on their own dwellings, which reflected indifference towards God's commands. Throughout scripture, God repeatedly calls His people to place Him first, illustrating that true blessings and fulfillment come from aligning our lives with His purpose for us.
