Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits.

Nearly everything we do in life is the result of our habits.

The best thing we can do is to keep God first in everything, so let's get disciplined about spending time with him.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Come on, that's why I've really been telling people last year or so when I do meetings,

you've got to make decisions.

You didn't come here just to take up space in a chair or to see what I look like in person.

You didn't come here just to put in some time with God.

You're here to hear the truth,

and if you make a decision to act on what you hear,

it will change your life.

But you have to make a decision.

You can't wait to feel like it. You can't wait to want to.

You can't wait until your friends do. You have to make a decision. I am not going to live the way

that I have been living anymore. You see, I finally got tired of being upset. Now, if you're not tired of being angry and

upset and jealous and bitter and resentful and greedy and all those things, if you're not tired

of that yet, then just go around the mountain a few more times. I'll be back about the same time

next year.

And I'm sure I'll preach some version of this, you know.

Seems to be my assignment in life.

I clean the fish.
