• “Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, you stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don’t need to search any further for security.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Yes, Lord by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 02/28/12

Published February 28, 2012 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: It’s easy for us to glibly use the name Lord when referring to God. But really calling HimLord is to say, “Yes.” Yes to His will, His Word, and His ways.

“Does surrendering mean I’m going to have to be a missionary or something?”

Nancy: Maybe. Maybe not. But what matters is saying, “Yes, Lord.”

“If I surrender to God, what if He never gives me a husband?”

Nancy: Surrender may mean being happily married for half a century, or it could mean being faithful in a difficult marriage to an unbeliever. What matters is saying, “Yes, Lord.”

“It probably means being poor the rest of our lives.”

Nancy: Surrendering to God may mean you make lots of money to use for the glory of God, or it could mean that you’re content with very little. What matters is saying, “Yes, Lord.”

Total surrender to Christ as Lord means submitting every detail of our lives to His loving rule. Are you doing that?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

  • “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Verse of the Day

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. — Philippians 2:9-11 (NKJV)
