“YES” To The Desires Of God.

A primary reason why many are limited in their walk with God is that they have never fully given over their right to ‘life control’ to God. We still want to retain the right to make the final decision whether we will obey God or not. Until we say “YES” to giving God full rights to controlling and directing our lives we will never go beyond the limits in our walk with Him.

        A biblical example of this fact is Abraham. As we examine Abraham’s life we see that God had transformed Abraham from an inconsistently obedient servant of God, to a consistent man of faith. The key passage in this transformation is given in Genesis 22:3 where Abraham’s response to this great test from God, for him to offer his only son Isaac to God through sacrifice, is responded to—“So Abraham rose early in the morning… and went to the place of which God had told him.”  Although Abraham had believed God and it was merited to him as if he was totally righteous in all of his actions, it is at this point in his walk that Abraham reveals a complete trust in God through his faith. There was no compromise just a total ‘YES’ to the desire of God.

        My prayer for you today is that you will remove the limitation of retaining the right to make the final decision whether to obey God or not. May your life today take the step of commitment to a total, and unrestrained “YES” to the desires of God.
