Take a deep breath. “Yes, Lord.” Then step out by faith. Walk into unknown waters. Enter cross-currents of something new.
Wherever He leads
Overarching vision inspires. As I commit to go wherever, whenever He leads. But time passes. With miles journeyed across oceans. Borders. And along the way reality weighs in. All that comes with “Yes, Lord.” So, I revisit the call. Consider His Word. Contemplate the cost. With prayer and surrender.
Keeping on
Paul uses certain images out of experience. Running the race. Fighting the good fight. In sometimes grueling overwhelming places. He keeps on keeping on through persecution and prison.
Called to serve
And as we’re called to serve among people. Lost. But resistant. Loved. Yet disinterested. Broken. But looking elsewhere. I need these words to press on. Persevere in the hard seasons. Keep listening.
Walk
Paul speaks another word to the common, measured, daily life. Walk. Walk in a manner worthy. Walk as children of light. Walk not as unwise, but as wise. Filled with the Spirit. Walk in love.
Yes, Lord
“Yes, Lord” is the only way to fully live. In the walk. In the race. In the fight. And He provides all that we need for life and godliness. He is enough. Alleluia.
“Now to Him who is able
to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works within us,
to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:20-21
What about you?
Have you ever said, “Yes, Lord,” then questioned your decision? What helps you persevere in the hard season?

This morning we sang:
Where You go, I’ll go.
Where You stay, I’ll stay.
Where You move, I’ll move.
I will follow You.
One more time, I prayed and asked for His path to be plain and for the strength to walk with Him.
That song…❤️. Grace to you, sister, as you continue walking His path.
Yes. I often question but He keeps on reminding me of His call and keeps reaffirming I’m where I’m meant to be. To keep persevering, to keep on going, to keep on seeking.
Thankful for His assurance and your faithfulness to follow where He leads.
Quite some time ago, I came across Ephesians 3:7 in the Good News translation and it really spoke to me. “I was made a servant of the Gospel by God’s special gift which He gave me through the working of His power.”
It has become a “life verse” for me!
What a wonderful and encouraging life verse! Thank you for sharing.
