This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today’s devotion talks about not giving into the desires of our flesh, because when we are giving into those desires, we cannot dwell in the presence of God. Meyer writes, “For example, if I am angry I will not enjoy the presence of God.” This really stuck out to me because today I have been feeling hurt and angry. Today is the birthday of the young man who hurt me. I am reminded of the things he did to me—things I cannot speak of. I am angry at him and myself for falling into that trap he set for me.
But God doesn’t want me to be angry. He wants me to look at all He has in store for me. He didn’t want those things to happen to me, but they did. And now He is there to comfort me. But I need to listen and open up to Him. If I seek revenge or sit in my anger, God can’t help me. I have to be willing to be helped.
