For BAE Explorers (8–12)
Before Anyone Else
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

B.A.E. means Before Anyone Else. When we say God first, we mean He gets the first word in our day, not the leftover minutes at the end.
Putting God first can be simple. It can be a short prayer before school, a verse on your mirror, or choosing kindness when nobody is watching.
When God is first, everything else finds its right place — friends, schoolwork, worries, even the things you wish you had.
Prayer
God, be first in my morning, my day and my heart. Amen.
Talk about it
What usually gets the first few minutes of your day? What would change if God did?
