Devotion leads to Happiness (2)

Good Morning friends, we are talking Happiness through Devotions. We talk little of this in previous post. We continue our post with the same topic.

Begin your devotional time by quieting yourself. Take a few deep breaths and become still. Some people light a candle or say a simple prayer such as, “O God, open my heart to hear your message to me in the words I read.”

Then read a short passage in the Bible and some additional reading. A resource such as Daily Bread and The Upper Room can guide you in choosing scripture passages, and its witness from other believers can help you connect the words of the Bible with concerns of everyday life.

At the end of your reading time, be silent and wait to see what words, feelings, or images rise in your heart or tug at your thoughts. Notice what situations or people come to mind.

Consider how the words or images connect with your life; then pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you to see what God may be saying to you through what you have read, thought, and felt.

Devotion leads to Happiness (1)

Good Morning Friends. We are talking happiness. When we have devotions for anything or act done with devotion leads towards happiness. Let’s talk more about Devotion leads to happiness.

Happiness is what we are looking for. Everyone dreamed of that. There is this happiness for praying, happiness for singing, happiness for sharing, happiness for reading. It’s with ourselves that makes us happy. As for now, I want to talk with you about devotion which leads to happiness.
The phrases “doing devotions” or “having devotions” may sound foreign or weird. These phrases are simply ways people describe spending time with God by reading the Bible (and other Christian literature) and praying. Why bother to read the Bible and pray? Why is having a regular time with God important? We spend time with God in order to deepen and strengthen our relationship with the One who created us and yearns to be with us.

But because we are all different and because each of us has a unique relationship with God, no one devotional pattern will work for everyone. And no one way works for anyone all of the time. Experiment until you find the time of day, content, and length of time spent that helps you feel connected with God.
