God over Everything

What do you put ahead or over God in your life?

• Religion

• Fitness

• Work

• Children

• Friends

• Sports

• Husband

• Emotions

• Shopping

• Reality TV

If we are not careful these items on the list and many other can become a god to us. We make them our highest priority and begin to worship them.

Deuteronomy 5:8-9 (NIV)

8 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Proverbs 3:6 (Living Bible Translation)

6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

In Deuteronomy 5:8-9, it states that it is a sin to put anything before God. When we do so, we are opening ourselves up to hardship, discipline, and a time of wilderness. When we honor God and make Him our priority, it allows us to have a deep and more itimate relationship with Him. Through this relationship we can hear the voice and command of God, as He directs our path. Obedience and relationship moves way for God to fullfill His promises to bless and fill us with His joy and peace. Make the decision today, to put God first!

Fashion meets Faith

Psalm 37

3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

On December 13, 2013, I launched my business Fathia Savory. I wanted to start this business years ago, but allowed everything to get in the way. I struggled with the idea of the fashion industry being a field that I could serve and please God. I believe that my faith isn't just for church but is something that should reflect in every aspect of my life. People would talk so negatively about loving fashion... "fashion is so materialistic". These thoughts echoed in my head, and I began to give up on my passion and dream.

I prayed to God and shared my stuggles with friends and a mentor. God began to reveal scripture (Proverbs 31) about my gifts and entreprenuership. He placed me in a position in which I shared my love for fashion with women at church events. I established relationships with teens through our talks about the latest fashion trends. God began to really open doors, and I had a loving husband who prayed and supported me.

As my business formed. I knew that I would operate with Christian principles, but I wanted to make it known publicly. Sharing your faith through your business can get sketchy, especially in a world where they want to take Christ out of everything. I prayed and sought wisdom about the best way to share my faith. Sometimes, we think too much about how we are going to offend people, and not enough about honoring God. I have since been including scripture on my website and facebook, as well as inviting people to know Christ, and join a church family. And more recently, God has put on my heart to include this blog on my website.
