I guess that's why I picked it. It goads me. How do I apply it? Do I say yes to discipline and no to abandon? Or the other way around? Do I switch off? Where are the directions on this box, anyway?
Irritating......but valuable. I know that. I've misused my yes, squandered it, hoarded it, argued with it.
I think the reason I chose it this year is that I sense its value, and I sense there's a way to use it as it was intended.
When Eve said yes to the tempter, and Adam said yes to Eve, they started the whole downward spiral, didn't they?
Back to my verse from the last post about "Yes in Christ". In Him, yes is sanctified, put back in its proper place. So, I guess that answers my question for today-----the directions for using yes come from Christ. He demonstrates it. Shows us how it's properly applied-----"I only do what the Father says", he told his disciples. I want to learn that kind of agreement.
