Promises

2 Cor. 1:20

For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory. 

Paul assured the Corinthians that their [Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy] word was true. There had been no yes and no, no wavering about Jesus Christ. As surely as God is faithful, their word was true and Jesus Christ was true. In Him, in Jesus Christ it is always Yes. For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory. How glorious is that! Jesus Christ is the conduit for the promises of God to become a reality in our lives. It is God who has established us in Christ, has anointed us as His own, has put His seal upon on, and has given us His Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. We are His undeniably and unchangeably! 

The more I think about the promises of God, the more that I realize that they are our source of power. 2 Pet 1 tells us His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to His own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises so that we might become partakers of the divine nature having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. His promises were instrumental in our salvation and are in our sanctification. We must cling to them because they are the source of all things pertaining to life and godliness. They are the Yes found in Jesus Christ. Through them we may utter our Amen to God for His glory. 

Father,

Help me to cling to Your promises constantly and never loosen my grip. Thank You for Jesus in whom all Your promises are Yes, How You have blessed my life!

In Jesus name,

Amen
