They must total a minimum of 2500 words each. This is only a benchmark, and

students are encouraged to exceed the word minimum and maintain an ongoing introspective commentary. Take this assignment seriously. The themes/issues

PUT GOD FIRST
Put God First
According to Denzel Washington, as a man of faith, I should always put God first in
everything I do. Through praying and asking for a favor in everything that I do in my life. I
should teach myself as a faithful Muslim to always be faithful to my God by following his
writings and commandments. Thanking him for what is already mine even before I have it is an

important practice that will help me in becoming a positive person in society. As a man of faith, I
should not only strive to have a good life individually but I should also learn to help others as a
way of appreciating the good thing that God has favored me with. This is a reflection of the
speech by Denzel Washing to on how and why I should always put God first.
Why I should put God first

will help me in appreciating for everything that he has given me apart from life, I have a decent
mind and ability to learn. The gift of good health because it’s not everyone around me is healthy.
I know of many people suffering from various conditions but I gave God nothing to have this
good health. The only way of appreciating him for such generosity and favor is by putting him
first. It is important for me, therefore, to understand that everything that I am, that I have, and
that I have accomplished is a gift from him and I need to appreciate him for that (Denzel
Washington 2017).

life because he was not sure of what he was going to do within his life. According to him, he was
in his mother’s beauty shop and there was a lady who had been staring at him for some time.
Then the lady claimed to have a propensity and asked for a pencil. She then said that Denzel will
travel the world and that he would speak to millions of people. At the time, he did not trust what
the lady had told him.
From this story, Denzel says that he has never forgotten what that lady told him. He says
the story has kept him focused and has always related it with God. He has always given God the
first say in his life. Up to date, he has realized what the lady proclaimed and it has come to be
true. His success, therefore, can be attrib...
