So building on our discussion yesterday, what do you think it means to yield to Christ in the everyday? As Ephesians 3 tells us, we're not called to try really, really hard to have inner strength, nor are we asked to try really, really hard to be loving- but our only job is to yield to Christ. When we learn to simply yield to the indwelling Spirit, He will make us strong, and it naturally follows that Christ will be really at home in our hearts. In turn, when Christ is at home in our hearts, His love fills every room in our house, so to speak, and His love will naturally exude out of our life.
So if our only task, our only "marching orders" to remember are to yield to Christ, exactly what do you think that means? What are your thoughts? Can you think of any examples we can learn from?

It has definitely entered my mind more often this week, so that is a plus, but I know I am nowhere near "there" yet. At first, I did not feel like I had many opportunities to yield to Christ, but looking back over the week, I think I just have to open my mind up more. I think I can yield to Christ when my attitude is poor and I am getting frustrated with life, not just when I am in a conflict.
ReplyDeleteI think it will really help to be reading the Bible more, but I have gotten out of the habit. I need to change around my patterns at home, so I don't fall into the same old routine all the time. So that is my goal for next week.
