A life shaped by trust and surrender, embracing God’s direction with a willing heart.
Saying “yes” to God is a journey—one step at a time, even when life gets loud and the path isn’t always clear. In this season, God invites us to walk in obedience, trusting that every “yes” moves us closer to His best for our lives. Obedience takes courage, discipline, and surrender, but as we walk in alignment with Him, we discover blessings and direction we could never find on our own.True obedience is an act of love (John 14:15), more pleasing to God than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22), and it unlocks blessings we can’t imagine (Isaiah 1:19). Let’s walk in God’s yes—even when it’s hard—and expect Him to move in ways we’ve never seen before.Scripture Focus:
John 14:15 | 1 Samuel 15:22 | Isaiah 1:19 | Deuteronomy 5:33 | Luke 11:28 | James 1:22
