Yes, Lord, Yes
Trust and surrender: two attributes required of Christians but ones which can be hard to put into practice. For a year or two, these have been the traits which God has reminded me over and over again I need to possess. He’s helping me in so many ways but I still marvel at the fact that it is not habit to trust the Lord yet or to surrender my will to His. I’m closer than I used to be but many times, I still find my first reaction to be one of disbelief or fear. Thankfully, I serve a patient God who has to feel sadness as I doubt His wisdom. I may not consciously do so but, when my eyes aren’t on Him, I’m sure that’s what I’m communicating.
This week, I’m striving to draw closer to Him so I become more aware of Him every moment. If my eyes are on Him and I’m asking Him to truly order my day, I know He’ll be faithful to do so and I know He’ll give me strength for whatever comes. He is always trustworthy. I can always depend on Him and, because of that, my posture is “Yes, Lord, Yes to Your will and to Your way. Yes, Lord, Yes. I will trust you and obey. When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart I’ll agree and my answer will be Yes, Lord, Yes!”
