Today's Jesus card reading is about putting God before all else. This is true humility, and the humble will inherit the Earth (Matthew 5.5). Imagine how enjoyable it will be to have dominion with God.
It is so easy to forget this, but I have found that when I truly believe that God loves me and is thinking about me constantly, giving His blessings and encouragement for me take the right path that he has laid out before me, it becomes so easy to have him, in turn, continually in the forefront of my mind - to be humble.
Listening to His angels that He sends has really helped to keep me on track, because they are continually rooting for me, giving me their strength to help me trust that His will for me is good, and that I will be so happy if I only follow His path. And the first step that I must take is for Him, before my second. And I am second.
When I remember that of myself I am nothing (John 14.10), I will be lifted up, to the point that my sheer presence will lift others up, and this is God's will for me, for all of us. This is easy to do, because when I remember to seek God's kingdom first, I remember how good I am going to feel during and after my good works.
God puts me first, he loves me to the point of death (Philippians 2.8). When I remember this, I am so happy to seek His kingdom first, as well. And when all that is undesirable yields to me (Luke 10.20), not only do I receive all that I truly, truly desire, I cannot regret loving God with every last bit of me (Luke 10.27), because there is absolutely no shame, in seeking the kingdom of God (Romans 10.11).
