YIELD

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of the word “YIELD”.  You do not see that word very often, but while driving the other day, I came up to a sign that said YIELD.  I had to stop and think for a moment and remember that the definition of YIELD is to give way!

I often find myself in such a hurry that I fail to YIELD to what God is asking me to do.  I need to practice the art of yielding to God’s plan in my life so that I am not rushing full speed ahead into my own.  Scriptures tell me HIS WAYS are not my ways.  It is important that I YIELD when I come to an intersection and is important that I YIELD to the plans of Christ.

Today, as I go through the day, I will focus on yielding, YIELDING to the needs of others, YIELDING to my family, and, most importantly, YIELDING TO the voice of God!  I have personally seen what happens when you DON’T yield.  It always ends up in disaster. 

Have a beautiful day.

Thank you so much for your daily words of wisdom and inspiration for us. Your gentle reminders help us to remember to focus on the things that are actually the most important, rather than what we think might be important. May we always submit to our lord when he weighs on us to do things in a proper way and order.
