The Power to Follow

Scripture Job 1 ; Job 2 ; Acts 6 ; Acts 7: 51 "You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!

Observation: Sometimes I think I fit this image--resisting the Holy Spirit--I mean.

Application: When God calls me to go in certain direction or do a certain thing or ask a certain person to serve in a certain position and I resist, my heart becomes hard and hard to penitrate. This is not a good thing because then it becomes about me and not about what God wants.

I have to battle against my own sense of self-control which sometimes comes from my free-will that God has given me. I have to allow the Spirit to guide me even when I don't want her too.

If only my faith were as strong as Job's.

Prayer: Lord, as I come before you today I need your strength more than ever. I pray that you will lead me in your Will and give me the strength to say "yes" to you. LOve Stephen

Yieldedness: Not my will, but yours be done.
