Three Brothers, One Stroke, and a Song That Healed
Manage episode 491643661 series 3324280
What happens when a pandemic and personal tragedy force musicians to question everything about their calling? For the Ward brothers of Consumed by Fire, these challenges led to a profound spiritual awakening captured in their song "First Things First."
The song draws inspiration from Revelation 2:4-5, which speaks of returning to our first love and doing the works we did at first. As the brothers discovered, this isn't about religious rules but about relationship—specifically, prioritizing our connection with God above everything else competing for our attention. The lyrics powerfully remind us: "Your kingdom's all I want to seek. I don't want to love what the world loves... First things first."
Both ancient and modern voices converge on a single question worth considering: Are we keeping first things first? And if not, what might we be missing? Take five minutes to realign your priorities and start your day right with this musical reflection on what matters most.
