Strong Yielding

Wednesday. Luke 4: 14-22.

It takes strength to yield. The highest act is in yielding to a higher will. Jesus yielded strongly to the control of the Holy Spirit during those human years. And so the Spirit could flood his words, and acts, and presence with power. Then the Holy Spirit yielded to Jesus, who sent him down on Pentecost to give lis power. Let us use our strength in yielding thoughtfully, intelHgently, to the Spirit’s sway. This is the secret of power.
