"Lord, what will You have me to do?" Acts 9:6
Whatever command God
gives--we should instantly and cheerfully answer, "Yes, Lord, I am ready to
obey!"
It is not hard to say "Yes,
Lord!" when God leads us in pleasant paths, where the
flowers are plentiful, where the way is smooth and agreeable. But we know that
sometimes the path is covered with thorns, and is rough and
steep--or runs through fire or flood. We are still called
always to say, "Yes, Lord!" If God calls us to some trial or
cross-bearing or sacrifice, our answer should always be the same. We should be
able to trust His loving heart--when our eyes cannot see blessing or
goodness in the way He takes us. Every true path of God leads to rich
joy!
"Teach me your way, O LORD; lead me in a straight path!" Psalm 27:11
"He led them forth by the right way" Psalm 107:7
~J.R. Miller
It is well with my soul.....can we say that sincerely, in the midst of difficult or even small trials? When our rights are violated, our way is thwarted, our patience wears thin? In other words, do we submit to the Master's way for us?
