Hearing from God Each Morning (August 13)

This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.

God has great plans for us, but we can’t live them out if we are being stubborn and not listening to Him. We need to stop and examine our actions, thoughts, and motives from time to time to make sure that what we are doing is what God wants or what we want.

I know that sometimes I’ll get so into a project that seems like a really good thing, but my heart isn’t in it because God wants me to do it. Sometimes I do things because I want people to think that I’m a great person. Even though what I’m doing is good, my motives aren’t exactly what God wants. God wants us to give glory to Him instead of taking all of the credit for ourselves. I can’t hear from God when I’m too busy tuning into the voices of those around me.
