In our daily decisions, we all yield to someone or something. Our yielding is the outward sign that we are placinging authority with a master. For many of us, we yield to ourself. This is the sign that we trust ourself over all others with the affairs of our life. To other's it is a place. They may say "I can never leave this place." Whoever we ultimately yield to should have the power and resources within it, to deliver us. For the person who trusts in themself, are they fully sufficient?
Disciples of Jesus yield to Him. Not all Christians are disciples, but those who are yield to Him. This is because He has transformational ability over our lives to bring us from certain death and separation from God to eternal life with Him. The key to having Jesus as your master is to decide for Him before you perish. The Bible writes "by faith we are saved by faith apart from works so that no man may boast." The Apostle Paul said "I boast in nothing other than the gospel of Jesus Christ." Words are often times shallow. The test of discipleship is determined by which direction your feet are heading.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, we say with our lips that we desire You as our Master. Let us take that conviction to our heart and be the guide by which we walk. In Your name we pray Amen.
