See-Saw See-Saw….. back and forth….reminds me of my faith that wavers. I trust. Then worry. I give it to Him and take it back again. I shout for joy. Then weep and even wail.

So which is it? In faith or doubt? Grateful or in misery? Hopeful or swallowed up in regret?

Honestly, for me and if you’re honest, for you, too, when things are the very toughest somewhere between birth and eighty, the answer to the above questions are all YES!

What to do in these moments? That’s the better question. Yield! That’s what to do. Yield emotions to Truth. Yield your words to His Word. Yield your fear to His perfect Love.

But instead, too often, not sure about you. But I go straight to focusing on taking action, modifying my behavior, and trying to escape the pain. That’s all leaning on our own understanding. But the Bible tells us that’s the exact opposite of what we are to do.

Yielding is ALL about acknowledging Him in ALL our ways. So next time you feel like you are on a See-Saw with your emotions, remember to yield. (Proverbs 3:5)

I love to say this – that there is no circumstance in life that we will ever face that at least one of the fruit of the spirit won’t come to our aid and help us overcome. So next time you start yielding to the wrong stuff, just pick the fruit you need and yield to it and watch things start to change! (Galatians 5)

Remember on the playground….that was sort of the secret to a fun time on a See-Saw. When you yield to the one on the other side, it’s a much smoother ride! As we yield to the One on the other side, the ride gets a lot more fun!

Happy Monday!
