Yield To Him

From: Michael Youssef Ministries

Psalm 23:1,3,4 "The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I lack...You guide me along the right path for the sake of Your name...Even though I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for You are at my side..." 

Throughout the Bible, we see that in the midst of disaster, God takes care of His faithful people. Think on the times in your own life when you were surrounded by oppression, trouble or grief, yet God watched over you and provided for you.

God always blesses those who surrender to Him. He delights in those who yield to Him. When God provides, He always satisfies. When we are wounded, He is the balm. When we are sick, He is the medicine. When we are poor, He is our wealth. When we are hungry, He is the Bread of Life. When we are thirsty, He is the Living Water. When we are in darkness, He is the sunshine. When we face a gathering storm, He is our anchor.

However, when we try to take things into our own hands we will find frustration. We will find heartache when we try to intrude on God’s purpose. We will find dissatisfaction when we try to modify His plan. We can’t improve on God’s recipe. In fact, trying to take over His plans can lead to disaster. Yet even when we mess up, God still has the power to set things right...when we yield to Him.
