In today’s busy
life, there doesn’t ever seem to be time for all the things we want or need to
do. We are always trying to please
someone, and usually it’s not ourselves.
What I’ve learned though is that by pleasing God first, everything else
seems to fall into place. I start my
morning talking with God and reading my daily devotional every day. Afterwards, my mood seems to relax, I feel
more confident and at peace, and my day goes much better. Yes, there are still days when I tend to get
frustrated of things that go wrong, but because my focus started with God, I
can always get it focused back on God and thank Him for the delay or turn of
events I was not expecting. Everything
happens for a reason and though we do not always know that reason, we must have
faith and trust in Him.
When you are frustrated, if we you just turn to God or even
just whisper the name “Jesus” over and over again in our heads, it can calm you
down almost instantly. He is always with
us. The more and more we grow in our
spiritual journey with God, we will quickly realize that He is more or less training
us to depend on Him and Him alone. We
will truly begin to find enjoyment in His presence. And the more we do for Him, the more He does
for us, and then we only want to do more, and the cycle continues. That’s how we live an abundant life through
God!
So, despite how busy your day might be, I urge you to take
some time to talk with God. Do not rush
your conversation. Take the time to
talk, be still, and then listen to what He has to say. Then before you go to sleep, be sure to thank
Him for getting you one more day closer to your dream – whatever your dream may
be. He wants to fill us with His love,
Joy, and Peace, so stay with Him a while and listen to that small voice He puts
in your head as He guides you toward your future happiness!
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
