Yielding to God's timing means trusting God's planning and timing are best for us; AND waiting with patience for Him to move on our behalf.  Assume a posture of hope!  

There's a time for everything.  However, while we move through time, hope assists us immensely particularly in times of uncertainty and challenge.  Hope (def) –  is looking toward the future with a confident expectation; moves beyond wishing for something to happen – it is rooted in faith in God and firm belief in God's fulfillment of His promises (e.g., His redemptive plan, the coming of the Messiah, the resurrection of the dead, or the establishment of God's kingdom.)   Believe! Let God fill you with hope and then hold fast to it!  Keep trusting God's Word as you continue to hope in Him and His promises.

Good (def) – that which is morally right; righteousness; possessing or displaying moral virtue.  A good man is committed to following the Lord.  A good man has the Word engrafted in his heart. A good man fears the Lord (His responses to God's commands are full of reverence, awe, honor and respect.) A good man leaves an inheritance – not just money, but an investment which can be both natural and spiritual. God's Good Man plans for the future by saving and investing, so that those he is responsible for are well taken care of. 

Faith in God allows us to realize that we do not have to allow discontent and/or unhappiness to make us remain stuck and take life for granted. God is the source of our joy, so yield and allow His joy to manifest in our lives.  Focus on the Lord will help us choose to be thankful and joyful in the life God has given us. Get unstuck!

The Bible emphasizes the power of words – they build up or tear down, heal or wound, and influence the course of one's life.  Evaluate your words and choose what you will express – words that harm or heal.  Choose to express life giving words – uplifting words that carry grace and kindness. Be one who embodies attributes like patience, kindness, faithfulness, empathy, forgiveness, tolerance, love and compassion. Listen before you speak.  Don't talk too much – there is wisdom in holding one's tongue.  Move past you – stop being overly self-absorbed, arrogant, or sensitive about our own feelings or importance.

There's a time for everything.  There are seasons we experience in life when we feel weary, tired, busy or even stuck – forgetting HOW to continue to seize opportune or suitable moments time provides us. Stuck arises from a myriad of reasons.   In these moments, it's easy to lose sight of what is actually well and good in our lives; particularly that God is present with and helps us in all moments. Holy Spirit renews our thoughts and attitudes – we must do our part to actively stay in this space. Faith in God allows us to realize that we do not have to allow discontent and/or unhappiness to make us remain stuck and take life for granted. God is the source of our joy, so yield and allow His joy to manifest in our lives.

Seek God and His anointing. The anointing power is not power for power's sake. The anointing sets YOU apart for God's use. Allow Him to instruct you in all things to be used with impact – power to be His witness, to discern what is true and real, and to bear fruit continually. Nurture the anointing by staying connected to Holy Spirit.

You have the same Spirit in you that anointed Jesus while He operated on earth!  You have the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit. You have the ability to think like God, and have His ways, purposes and thoughts made known to you. He gives you wisdom and understanding – use it!  We need the anointing flowing. Protect and nurture the anointing at work in you!

Their exists a connection between a person's words and his/her inner state. In other words, our speech reflects what is in our heart.  Further, words strongly impact our lives by influencing our thoughts, emotions, actions, and even, the direction our lives take.  What fruit are you producing in yourself and in others with your words?

Jesus is the anointed one – the "Mashiach" who was set apart to be our king who would establish God's kingdom, bring the world salvation, and reconcile us to the Father! Yet He also breaks burdens and destroys yokes! Jesus invites people to "take my yoke upon you" and find rest in following His teachings and way of life.  Find strength and refuge in Him and His anointing.  

God's anointing gives you the authorityto execute your calling and purpose. His anointing also teaches and equips you to do the work your purpose requires—work that you cannot otherwise do on your own strength. God's supernatural power on the inside you makes you able! Give Holy Spirit the space and right environment in which to move in you! We need the anointing flowing. Protect the anointing at work in you!

Humble yourself before God and others.   Remember what we have / who we are results from God's grace! His grace affords me – unmerited favor, salvation, redemption, new life in the HS, empowerment, forbearance and sufficiency – ALL THROUGH HIM!  Avoid actions that could cause others to stumble by enticing them to do what they believe is wrong / what their conscience condemns. 

Do the right thing and stop putting on a show. Exhibit being earnest and having integrity, which means being sincere and truthful, especially in doing what is morally right, even when it's difficult or unpopular. Act for the right reasons, not just for appearances. God wants honor. As we honor God, He honors us.  Give God glory – all of our gifts come from Him! 

It's important to remember that when we do things God's way, He will reward us. The Lord assures us that we will reap what we sow— God sees every little thing you do for Him, and it all counts. Sow well, reap well!   Identify your motivation for doing good. It should be that you show your works to glorify God by letting men see, not showing them just to be seen by men.
