The Power of “NO”

A man who was feeling a little low went into a local diner for breakfast. “Bring me a poached egg on toast and a good word,” he said to the waitress. She soon returned with his order, set it down, and turned to walk away. “Wait a minute,” he said. “What about that good word?” She leaned down and whispered, “Don’t eat the egg!” I’m a positive person, but sometimes it’s important to observe some negatives in life.

For example, when temptation comes – and it will – we need to learn the power of “no.” We must take it a step further, too, and not only say “no” to temptation, but to say “yes” to God and His righteousness and truth. Are you facing a temptation? Then say “yes” to God. He will enable you to answer your temptation with a resounding “no!”
