“Yes” in Christ Jesus
Our first intentions to bless others are often changed by God. That does not mean we are being “wishy-washy,” vacillating, turning one way and then another on a whim. Maturity as a follower of Christ is to follow Him. Ready to go where He leads.
(NASB) 2 Corinthians 1:18 “But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no.”
God’s word is always faithful to us.
(NASB) 2 Corinthians 1:19 “For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us – by me and Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy – was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.”
The Son of God, Christ Jesus, is the message that is of first importance – it is always “yes” in Him.
(NASB) 2 Corinthians 1:20 “For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.”
God’s many promises are always “yes” in His Son.
~ Take it to heart ~
When first intentions to bless others need to be changed – I need to remember: God is faithful even in changing my direction.
God is faithful – the promises of God in Christ Jesus are “yes!”
Amen, so be it, even in changing my first intentions to bless others! My God is faithful!
