Yield

What does your "Yield" sign mean? 
What is God saying to you today?

When we come across a "yield" sign, as we are driving, it requires an action. 
It is no different in life, with the LORD, when He produces a "yield" sign.

Let us press in and press on.

Path of Life


"I keep my eyes always on the LORD. 
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; 
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, 
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life; 
you will fill me with joy in your presence, 
with eternal pleasures at your right hand." 
Psalm 16:8-11

"The path of life leads upward for the prudent 
to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead."
Proverbs 15:24

Grow Where You Are


"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. 
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, 
whether well fed or hungry, 
whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
Philippians 4:12-13

We are exhorted to be content, NOT complacent.

"At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and 
punish those who are complacent, 
who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 
‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.'" 
Zephaniah 1:12

Grow where you are; 
work hard at whatever you have been given. 
God sees and will take care of the rest - 
letting you know the next steps when the time is right.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, 
as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. 
It is the Lord Christ you are serving." 
Colossians 3:23-24

Fountains


"As they make music they will sing, 
'All my fountains are in you.'” 
Psalm 87:7

     "The springs of the joy of a carnal world lie in wealth and pleasure; 
but the springs of the joy of a gracious soul lie in the word of God and prayer. 
Christ is the true temple; all our springs are in him, and from him all our streams flow. 
It pleased the Father, and all believers are well pleased with it too, 
that in him should all fullness dwell." 
(Matthew Henry)
