We Say Yes

When nothing more can be said - no more excuses or arguments - then silence falls. It in such a moment we have an opportunity to surrender to the Lord. When every plan, scheme or option has failed to produce results. Here we surrender our every care to the Lord who is waiting for our simple response.

That response is, "Yes, Lord."

Yes, to the trials and testings. Yes, to the blessings and joy. Yes, to walking the path You have laid for us though another way may seem less narrow and nicely paved. More than anything, we say yes to the things You want for our lives not the things we think is best.

When we say yes to the Lord; we say no to the desires of the flesh. A simple yes means our will bends toward Him with an expectation of Him fulfilling His Word.

A leper came to Jesus for healing. He asked if Jesus was willing and the Lord responded, "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" And immediately the leprosy left him." (Luke 5:13 KJV).

How much more is the Lord willing to do much more than we can ever imagine if only we say yes. Beloved, you may have experience rejection or being denied access or resources so you fear asking the Lord. You fear having hope rise and your heart swell with possibilities only to crash as in times past. God is not like others who broke your heart or made promises they couldn't keep. He is a loving Father who is more willing to answer when we say yes to Him.
