Turn to God

March 11, 2010

“God says … You weary Me with your idea that people enjoying the pleasant life of prosperity and peace are the real winners. Every moment spent in seizing pleasure is a moment with your back to Me. Turn toward yourself, live for satisfaction and fullness now, and you will lose yourself. Turn toward Me, sacrifice your pleasure for Mine, and you will find Me. You will find purpose now and joy forever.”

    Patsy,

    This book is a reflection on each of the 66 books of the Bible, and the God says messages are intended to be a summary of the message of each book. This particular devotion is about the book of Malachi., but those words are are a common theme throughout Scripture.

Got something to say?
