A heart that says “Yes” to God

 

Text: Isaiah 6:8(KJV)

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!

Friends, throughout the scriptures we can see that God works powerfully through people who simply said “Yes” to Him. This is the heart that surrender in faith with practical obedience to God’s will. God does not call for latter time and not with delays or negotiation. So, a heart of Yes to God does not wait for perfect condition rather absolute trust on the wisdom of God. Isaiah encountered God and his willingness preceded his assignment. Remember, God is not primarily looking for ability, but availability. For instance, when God called Abraham, he obeyed without knowing the destination.  Hence, his “Yes” positioned him as the father of many nations. Psalm 40:8 - I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Also, Mary the mother of Jesus, offered one of the clearest examples of a yielded heart when she said, “Be it unto me according to your word”. It is this willingness that ushers us to God’s fullness to our destiny. 1 Samuel 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

Amazing, when we form the habit of saying “Yes” to God it often requires letting go of fear, control, pride, or convenience. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Therefore, a yes to God is a sign of spiritual maturity that will make one to choose obedience even when the cost is high. But, it is exciting to know that every Yes to God will lead one to growth and alignment to divine purpose. Let’s be encouraged that God is not looking for perfect people, but for a willing heart. I pray we shall be that willing heart today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord, align my heart with Your will as you remove every fear and help me to obey You fully and joyfully in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to give your “YES’ to God today.
