Yield to Me
My people: do not doubt that I am in control.
I am the great I AM, and when you place your trust in me you cannot be torn apart by the schemes of this world. You may shake and feel the quake, but when you are rooted firmly in me you will not be swept away.
The question then is do you trust me? For today I am asking you to yield yourself to me. Do you give me permission to blow away the things in your life that you do not need to carry? Will you yield to me, giving me the space I need to move?
Let me blow away the things that are heavy and burdensome. Yield yourself to me and the work I am doing within and around you. Recognize that I am shaping you to be the strong, fierce vessel you were created to be.
Prayer: Father, I give you permission to blow away the things in my life that belong to the past season. No matter how uncomfortable it may make me feel, I declare now, with all of my heart, that I trust you! Where you lead, I will follow. I yield myself to your ways, knowing that they are higher than my own. You are trustworthy God and I yield to you!
1 Chronicles 29:11 (NIV)
Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
Psalm 37:5-6 (MSG)
Open up before God, keep nothing back;
he’ll do whatever needs to be done:
He’ll validate your life in the clear light of day
and stamp you with approval at high noon.
