Hashem First - R. Eliyahu Maksumov - TorahAnytime.com

You ever wondered why the first letter of the Torah is a bet? Why not an alf? So I'm sure you heard maybe a few answers to this but maybe this one this answer I'm about to share with you maybe you did not hear says that the first thing on everyone's mind is physicality materialism vacations the best vacation spots the best hotels are the best food the best restaurants that's everybody's alf everyone's bet on the other hand is the Torah then I'll take care of spiritual matters first I have to take care of all the physical and all the materialism I'll get to Hashem eventually when Hashem starts the Torah he begins with the letter bet in Bit because he says take the bet which is the second thing in your head and make it the first thing and that's how we're going to start the Torah says this is why Hashem starts the Torah with the letter bet to tell you make the Torah priority the bet and everyone's life is the Torah and the ALF in everybody's life is the materialism. And so Hashem says, "I'm going to leave the elf for later, but the bed has to come first. You always have to make Hashem priority. Put Hashem first. We're so busy up running to take care of our jobs, taking care of everything in the morning. How many people get up in the morning and they leave Davi for last and we're going to d later. I'll get around to it. I have to take care of other important matters like check my statuses and then take care of other a few errands along the way and then I'll get around to learning Torah." Hashem wants us to make him first. Make Hashem your first priority and then you will show Hashem that you truly love
