Each morning I read a page from a book I have in my office called Starting Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer. I thought I would share today's devotion which is based on 2 Timothy 3:16:

"The Bible says that we will reap what we sow. The dividing line between success and failure is doing what God tells us to do. We pray for fruit in our lives, but we don't always want to pray for roots.

If we want our days to go right, we need to do whatever God tells us to do. If we don't walk in obedience, then we can't complain if we wind up in a mess. If we are lonely and God tells us to invite somebody over, but we decide it is too much trouble, then we will stay lonely.

Obedience brings the fruit of the Spirit in your life. Dig deep into God's Word before you walk away from blessings today"

Today, just ask yourself ....are you are truly listening to God and being obedient to Him? As imperfect humans it is easy to become sidetracked with life and we don't always hear Him as clearly as we should. When that happens....just go someplace quiet, breathe, and listen.......
