Well, good evening, Faith Base. You guys out here running, getting my second workout. It's part of the 75 hard I told you about this morning, getting my second workout in. And I was thinking about God things, saying yes to God things. I wanted to share that with you. You know, God will present us opportunities and invitations to step into his plans and his purpose. I call these things God things. They come in various forms. Could be a new relationship. Could be an unexpected opportunity. Whatever it is, it's a divine assignment and saying yes to these things requires faith, requires trust, and requires a willingness to surrender to his leading. And I thought before the sun sets out here, it might be good to reflect on the significance of saying yes to these God things, especially in this new year, because there are blessings that await us as we embrace his will for our lives. So I want you to think about that, maybe even journal about that. God things. Yes to God things. When we say yes to God things, we open ourselves up to his abundant blessings and to the fulfillment of his promises. And I really think it's in these moments that we surrender, or maybe the better way to say it is in the moments of surrender, we begin to see how God is working through us and for us, how his guidance is leading us on the right path. And all we've got to do is say yes, right? Say yes, be available. And it may require that we've got to step out of our comfort zones. It may require that we've got to let go of some of our plans. But remember, God's plans for us are always greater than we could ever imagine. You know, the Bible says, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways, in all your ways. That's a strong verse right there, submit to him and he will make your paths straight. That's Proverbs 3, verses 5 and 6. So take a moment, think about that, pray about that, journal about that, the importance of saying yes to God things. What are the God things that are in your life? How can you open your eyes to the God things that are about to hedge your way that you can say yes to? Because they'll take you to a place of transformation, they'll take you to a place of growth, they'll take you to a place of deeper intimacy with God and all you've got to do is have the courage to step out in faith and say yes. And God will guide you every step of the way. So embrace the opportunities, right? Embrace the opportunities, trust in his perfect plan. And I acknowledge saying yes isn't always easy, but that's where we find true joy and true purpose and true fulfillment. And so open your hearts and say yes, pray about that, saying yes to all that God has in store for us. This is an adventure that we're on, that's what faith is, it's an adventure. So say yes to it, be open to it, be available to God and I promise you he will take us places, he will take you places that we never dreamed possible because he is always faithful and he is able to do all things. Have a great night, be blessed, be great, we'll see you tomorrow.
