Help Yourself to Happiness

from the messages of Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:

Psalm 119:2 - "Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

Have you ever thought that if you lived according to God’s laws you were going to miss out?

The truth is, if you don’t live according to God’s laws you’re going to miss out! God’s laws are for your welfare. God is not a tyrant in heaven making a bunch of laws to make you squirm like a worm in hot ashes as you try to keep those laws. God loves you. Every time God says “Thou shalt not,” God is simply saying, “Don’t hurt yourself.” And every time God says, “Thou shalt,” God is saying, “Help yourself to happiness.” God has something wonderful in store for those who put their trust in Him.

ACTION POINT:

Write the following down on some sticky notes and post them everywhere:
God loves me.
God knows better than I do.
God is in control.
God is good.
