This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today’s devotion is about how God has better plans for us than the things we desire, and that when our desires are not met, it’s because He has better things in store for us. It also mentioned giving every desire to God, and making sure that every desire was placed before Him for Him to give to us or take away.
One time I was in love. That isn’t unusual for a teenaged girl. I was so convinced that he was the one for me, and from what he said, he felt the same way about me. But then circumstances out of our control took him out of my life. I prayed to God, “God, if it’s Your will to bring him back, thank You. If it isn’t, I know you have a better idea and a better person in mind.”
I still pray that sort of prayer whenever I don’t get something I wanted. I realize that God knows the big picture, and even if it hurts right now, this will all someday work together for my good.
It isn’t always easy to give all of our desires to God, but when we do, it is the most rewarding thing!
