Willing Spirit

If you would ask what is the toughest thing to do in Christian life? Many would say it as fasting, tithing, charity, attending all night prayer, etc. But the truth is: for many Christians the toughest task to do in their Christian life is obeying...

In our life, it is so very easy to do so many spiritual stuff. But obeying the Lord with willingness is often a tough thing, for it requires dying to our will or way. Many do not understand that the essential aspect of Christian living is obedience to God and His will. For in us, we see the fallen spirit of Adam i.e the rebellious spirit always wanting to go our way rather choosing to yield to God.

That is why the King David prayed...

Psalm 51:12b (New American Standard Bible)

And sustain me with a willing spirit.

He says a willing spirit which also means a yielding spirit. Yielding is something that is done willingly without being resentful or remorse.

Let us pray that the Lord would give us a willing spirit like King David so that we would yield to the Lord joyfully...
