Bless Yourself
by Joyce Meyer - posted October 09, 2013

I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me.
—Proverbs 8:17

Our motives are misplaced if we think we read the Bible and pray to please God, or to keep from making Him mad at us. God once told me, “You think, when you read the Bible, that you are making Me happy. I am going to be happy whether you read it or not.

No, Joyce, if you read the Bible, you’re happy. If you pray, you’re happy. If you give, you receive.”

Every single thing that God tells us to do, He tells us to do so to bless ourselves. He doesn’t ask us to devote ourselves to study and prayer for Him; it is for us. The good life is our choice

Horizon, you have BLESSED ME with this post. There are times when I say, " I don't have time to seek the Word" There are other times when I forget to take certain instances to Him in prayer. I have to remember that I am only cheating myself of what God has planned for me. How can he direct me, if I don't even show up for my instructions?
