"LORD, What Will YOU Have Me To Do?"

Yes, LORD!

"LORD, what will YOU have me 
to do?"   Acts 9:6

Whatever command GOD gives--
we should instantly and cheerfully 
answer, "Yes, LORD, I am ready 
to obey!"

It is not hard to say "Yes, LORD!
when GOD leads us in pleasant 
paths, where the flowers are plentiful,
where the way is smooth and agreeable.

But we know that sometimes
the path is covered with thorns, 
and is rough and steep--
or runs through fire or flood.

We are still called always to say, 
"Yes, LORD!" If GOD calls us
to some trial or cross-bearing
or sacrifice, our answer should
always be the same. We should
be able to trust HIS loving heart--
when our eyes cannot see blessing
or goodness in the way HE takes us.
Every true path of GOD leads to rich joy!

"Teach me your way, O LORD; 
lead me in a straight path!"
Psalm 27:11

"HE led them forth by the right 
way" Psalm 107:7
