• “How very narrow is the gate that leads to a life in God! (Mt 7:14) How little one must be to pass through it, it being nothing else but death to self! But when we have passed through it, what enlargement do we find! David said, ‘He brought me forth also in a large place’ (Ps. 18:19). And it was through humiliation and abasement that he was brought there.” – from Madame Guyon’s autobiography Ch. 22

Yes, Lord by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 05/10/11

 

“I never knew teenagers could be so difficult!”

“My husband’s getting sicker every day.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Over the years I’ve watched women walk through some incredibly difficult, complex situations.

“There was another round of lay-offs, and we didn’t make it this time.”

“Those memories keep coming back.”

Nancy: I’ve discovered that in every circumstance, the real issue is this: Will I surrender to God’s hand and purpose in my life?

If you’re in the middle of one of those difficult, complex situations, let me remind you of Jesus’ example. He was asked to drink a bitter cup full of all the vilest sin of the world.

“‘Not my will, but Yours be done.’ Lord, if you could pray that, then I can pray it, too.”

Are you resisting God’s choices in any area of your life? Why not wave the white flag of surrender and say, “Yes, Lord.”

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
