This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today’s devotion really struck me. It was about how Satan can use our desires against us if we feel we cannot be happy without something that is not God. When we are lusting after anything (even a good thing) that is not God so much that we feel like we will be miserable without it, Satan uses that. God wants us to seek Him above all things, and everything else will be added on later. Our highest priority needs to be seeking God and His righteousness, peace, and joy.
I’ve been learning to worry less and seek God more. I have been worried about making money for tuition. I gave it up completely to God a week or so ago, and since then God has provided ALL of my tuition money.
I’ve come to the point where I have desires, but I’m learning to trust God with them. When I find myself wanting something so bad, I just give it to God. Right now I’m at an age where I’ll be dating and possibly finding the person I will spend the rest of my life with. I really want to meet them. I want to be with them, whoever they may be, and I want to just get to that part of my life. But God is showing me that I need to wait and depend fully on Him before I can have that person in my life in that way. It’s not easy, but I don’t have to do it on my own, either. God is with me every step of the way.
As I seek Him, everything else will fall into place.
