"That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in ONE all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:" [Eph 1:10]
"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." [John 15:5]
"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." [John 17:21]
"For he is our peace, who hath made both ONE, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;" [Eph 2:14]
"I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing ONE another in love; endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ONE Lord, one faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." [Eph 4:1-6]

James spoke of this wisdom in his letter:
Verse fifteen this wisdom:
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 � Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Putting YHWH first,HMMMMMMMMMM
Does anyone claiming to put YHWH first,do you use a credit card at anytime at all throughout your life.
Then YHWHW is not first.
Php_4:19 and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
When you are impatient at anytime in your life,then YHWH is not first.
Gal 5:22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
When you meet with others and have not brought something to share with the body,then YHWH is not first.
1Co 14:26 What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;
Does anyone claiming to have YHWH as #1,numero uno,
Do you seek YHWH first and foremost above anyone and anything for whatever reasons in your life 24 hours a day 7 days a week,365 days a year.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
Rom_3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom_3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom_3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Putting YHWH first is impossible with man!
Mar 10:27 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

Okay, help me out here, folks. Where am i missing it? I keep reading this post and it seems quite clear to me that the op is simply saying we can't PUT God first because He (being the Vine) already IS first and we (being the branches) are powerless to PUT Him ANYwhere. All we can do is to be humble enough and wise enough to recognize that rightful first place which is ALREADY His, and abide in Him.
The clay does not PUT the Potter in the potter's chair.
