Is There a Yes in your Spirit?

"During Thomas Jefferson's presidency he and a group of travelers were crossing a river that had overflowed its banks. Each man crossed on horseback fighting for his life. A lone traveler watched the group traverse the treacherous river and then asked President Jefferson to take him across. The president agreed without hesitation, the man climbed on, and the two made it safely to the other side of the river where somebody asked him: "Why did you select the President to ask this favor?" The man was shocked, admitting he had no idea it was the President of the United States who had carried him safely across. "All I know," he said, "is that on some of your faces was written the answer 'No' and on some of them was the answer 'Yes.' His was a 'Yes' face." ~Charles Swindoll

In life, we meet various experiences face to face. Sometimes theses experiences are difficult, scary, and maybe even undefined to us. However, the notion we must realize and understand is that, the way you approach a situation has a huge affect on the outcome. Think back, and remember a time where you had to attend a forum of some sort. You may have been leery about going, and maybe even considered staying at home. However, you told yourself to go and that everything would turn out fine. You get to the forum, and you had the time of your life. This is mainly because you changed your attitude about the whole situation.

In life, there will be times that God places us in jobs, relationships, financial statuses, and various situation just to see how we will respond. Recall when David was placed within 3 feet of Goliath. He could have ran, and said "Ununh! I am not going to face him." However, he had a yes in his spirit, and an "I can" in his notion. That made all the difference. Also, think back on Paul, and Job; They both went through things where they didn't understand how God was working in their life. They even doubted in a moment. But Oh when they entrusted their faith back into the Most High, and presented a "Yes" in their spirit, God stepped in and made a way. He never gives the vision without a provision. We just add division within us because we refuse to wait. We must remember just as the words of Swindoll, "The most significant decision I make each day is my choice of an attitude. When my attitudes are right there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme and no challenge too great." Attitude is key!

I have not come to be complex, nor have I written to go in depth with my words. However, I am just trying to appeal to everyone that a willing, and believing spirit can make a difference in every situation. Numerous times we wonder why the smallest, weakest, and least known person gets placed in positions we should have gotten. Before we pass judgement, Check your face, check your attitude, and check your spirit. Then ask yourself; "Does a Yes reside there?"

The pen just had to testify!

God bless!
