Hearing from God Each Morning (August 3)

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

Today’s devotion tells us that God has a lot He wants to tell us, and we can learn from Him and grow closer to Him every day. We need to approach our devotion time with Him as something we want to do, a pleasure, than a duty that we must carry out every day.

I’ll admit, for me it’s hard to get started on my devotions sometimes. I just don’t feel into it, or the thought of cracking open a book and reading just bores me. Other times I can hardly wait until I do devotions because I know there is a lot God wants to show me in His Word. Either way, most of the time when I start my devotions, I get sucked into them. I enjoy being in God’s Word and learning from Him so much. During times when I am not doing as long of devotions I start to feel so lonely and I miss the time I spent with God.

Right now I’m tired and stressed. I could just go do a million things today that really don’t need to be done, or I could spend more time with God. It’s always good to spend a lot of time with God, but today I feel like it is extremely important that I spend more time with God in prayer and devotions.
