On the 4th Day of Christmas –
Say YES to the call even when it’s so much easier to say NO.
Luke 1:38 “Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.”
Luke 1:38 “Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.”
Mary had so many reasons to say No. Joseph could have turned her away, she would have been ostracized from the community, even stoned. Her parents could have told her to leave, and then she would have had to beg and possibly sell herself into prostitution.
But instead of taking the easy way out, she trusted the LORD and said YES, I am the Lord’s servant and willing to accept whatever he wants.
When God asks us to do something out of our comfort zone or even something that may seem like it will cause us harm, it definitely can lead us to disregard His request. However, the Lord will still get the job done, it may just be through someone else. For His reasons and His plans He desires YOU. He wants you to give your all, no matter the cost.
In my 20’s, I was living quite comfortably, but God had been working on me for a while. He had another plan for me, one to grow me, and I completely felt, heard, and knew the CALL. But I thought I could do that plus what I was already doing.
In my finite view, it would be to hard for my family if I quit what I was doing, we would struggle, But God wouldn’t let me go. So I quit my job and I began to wait, and in the wait we began to lose everything that we thought meant so much. But my Testimony GREW.
Over the years, He has provided for us in more ways than I could have ever imagined, one YES at a time, one step at a time. As I look back at my sweet little family from that time, I think, was it worth it? Yes, absolutely YES! For, I am the Lord’s Servant, and I am willing to accept whatever He wants.
Esther 4:14 “If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”
