There are times when we need to simply say ‘no.’ While it is tempting to please others with a ‘yes,’ we are limited. We have only so much energy, limited emotional, time and financial resources and are given the responsibility of being stewards of them. Scripture tells us, “All you need to say is simply ‘yes’ or ‘no;’ anything beyond this comes from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37). Are you a good steward of your time? Do you know when to say ‘yes’ and when to say ‘no?’ Take good care to know the difference.
