Don’t expect happiness

 “Happy are those who obey his decrees and search for him with all their hearts.” Psalm 119:2

Today the perfect opportunity arose for me to seek out the Lord with all my heart and allow Him to make the best decision for my family. And do you know what I did with that opportunity? The complete opposite of what I should have.

Because I chose to act off of my emotions and seek audible advice first, God once again intervened and got my attention, and I must say, when we choose the opposite of His word you can be sure that “happy” is NOT what you are or feel. How could I expect to be happy when I did the opposite of what makes me happy? I can’t and I shouldn’t expect it either.

Learning to seek God is learning to trust Him to answer and when He does peace and happiness will always be sure to follow!

So as of now the decision has been made and I am praying and BELIEVING that this amazing God of whom I serve is in control and is working all things out for the health of our baby.

If I could give any advice to whomever even takes time to read this blog (thank you by the way) it would be to SEEK God first! Don’t act off of your emotions but off of the leading of the Holy Spirit and trust in His power and leading.

Then no matter what, it will all be great because it was His leading and His decision, which is far greater and more important anyway!

Prayer: Lord thank You for teaching me a very valuable lesson today. Thank You for making this verse come alive and for showing me the importance of seeking You first. Thank You for the audible advice I did receive because it came from those who love us the most, but who also love You more! Amen
