“We Say Yes Lord”

2 Corinthians 1:20

Yes is defined as to express affirmation or assent; amen; fine; agreed; approval.

Everyone of us was created for a purpose. If you don't know what your purpose is, seek God for direction. When Jesus began His public, earthly ministry at the age of 30, He went out looking for men who were willing to say 'Yes Lord" and he found 12 of them who were from different walks of life, different backgrounds and different occupations who said "Yes" and when they did, He told them  "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." The disciples said “Yes Lord” even though it meant danger, persecution and possibly death. Jesus knew them all inside and out. He knew which ones would say "Yes" and those were the ones He called out. Jesus knew who He was choosing as His disciples. Jesus was not blinded to who the 12 was that He chose. He is not blinded to us either for He knows exactly who we are and in spite of our shortcoming He is still listening to hear  "Yes Lord” from us. Christ goal for us after salvation is to make us "fishers of men" if we are willing to say "Yes" to His will for our lives. There are quite a few who said “Yes” to Jesus will: Noah had the choice of building an ark or not building an ark.  He said "Yes Lord” and began building it unto the completion of it. Moses stood before a burning bush and said "Yes” to God who commanded him to go to Pharaoh, King of Egypt and command him to confront Him with what thus says the Lord in the release of God's people, even though doing so could have cost him his life. The prophet Isaiah said these profound words concerning God's will for a voice to cry out to the people on His behalf. Isaiah said "Yes Lord, here I am! send me." Mary, the mother of Jesus at the conversation of her and the Angel Gabriel, she said "Yes" to God's will for her life as Mother of the Savior of the world. Luke 1:38-Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant! Let it happen as you have said.”And the angel left her.

I come by this morning asking you, “Are you willing today to say, “Yes Lord” to His will and His way? I am. By saying “Yes” to God, we are essentially saying that our relationship with Him is more important than anything in this world. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
