Desiring God More Than His Blessings

We all know how amazing our God is but I want you all to know how he worked in my life today. We have a lot going on in our life right now and this morning it seemed to really get me down. I was not my normal happy self I was drained physically and emotionally. I was over thinking things and trying to predict the future which we all know is impossible. I cried out for help to God, my husband, friends, family, and Facebook! My husband family and friends reached out with love and encouragement but yet it still didn't give me the peace I needed.  I picked up my phone to read my devotional hoping to read the words I needed to hear. The April 14th devotional was everything that did NOT apply to my life at that moment. I was disappointed and still sad. Later that afternoon I picked my phone up again to read the bible I came across Proverbs 18:24 which made me so thankful for the few amazing friends I have. I love that I can call them and they're always there to take time out of there day to listen and lift my spirits. Then for some reason I decided to read the April 14th devotional again and this time, for some unknown reason (God), it read something completely different. It was exactly what I needed to hear... "to desire God more than you desire his blessings." Hebrews 13:5 "Keep your life free from love of money and be content with what you have, for he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you." This verse spoke volumes to me. He changed this devotional just for me and this was his way of speaking to me. He never fails me. God has to be my top priority! I also have to know that no matter how tough life gets he will never leave or forsake me. My heart has to desire God more than his blessings. These past few months I have grown in my relationship with God. I feel closer to him more than I ever have and let me tell you: He is working in my life in ways that I can't even understand and my worst day with God is way better than my best day with out Him!!
