THE JOY OF YIELDING

Daily Thought

Your Word for 05 December 2024

1 Chronicles 16:11
‘Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.’

In our relationship with God there is a wonderful aspect in which we can yield ourselves to Him. It’s not always something people readily understand. Our lives can be so busy and consuming that we never learn the art of yielding ourselves to God or we just don’t include it in our daily Christian lives. I remember learning about this in a church that I was involved in. We were taught how to yield ourselves to God and we were actively encouraged to pursue it as part of our Christian walk. As a result many of the people in our church enjoyed a deeper relationship with God and it was an enriching experience. You can also discover the joy of yielding your life to God, not just once, but on a regular and preferably on a daily basis.

IT STARTS AS WE SURRENDER OUR LIVES TO GOD
When we become children of God and give our lives to Him, this is where the whole process starts. You see HE knocks at the door of our hearts and if we will open up and yield our lives to Him, He will come and live within us and everything changes. This is what is called being Born Again. God becomes the Lord of our lives and we surrender our lives and future into His hands. But this is only the start. From this point on we have a relationship with God and we can discover the joy of yielding our lives to Him each and every day. It becomes a voyage of discovery as we develop our relationship with our living Saviour and Lord, Jesus. Our spiritual lives can become more than a one-off experience as we develop and grow in our relationship.
