Saying Yes to God

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will support you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken"  -- Psalm 15:22 / Holman Christian Standard Bible

Your decision to seek a deeper relationship with God will not remove all problems from your life; to the contrary, it will bring about a series of personal crises as you constantly seek to say "yes" to God although the world encourages you to do otherwise. You live in a world that seeks to snare your attention and lead you away from God.  Each time you are tempted to distance yourself from the Creator, you will face a spiritual crisis. A few of these crises may be monumental in scope, but most will be the small, everyday decisions of life.  In fact, life here on earth can be seen as one test after another - and with each crisis comes yet another opportunity to grow closer to God . . . or to distance yourself from His plan for your life.

Today, as you serve on the front lines of life, you will face many opportunities to say "yes" to your Creator - and you will also encounter many opportunities to say
"no" to Him.  Your answers will determine the quality of your day and the direction of your life, so answer carefully . . . very carefully.
