Yes, says the Lord

In Christ, the answer is “Yes.” I was chewing over 2 Corinthians 1:1–11 recently, thinking about how God wants us to know this Divine Affirmation. Yes, he says. Yes. Yes!

Do you believe in Christ’s Yes for you?

God our Father

God of compassion

God of comfort

God of love

 

Troubles and pressure

Despaired we of life

Deadly peril over us

The sentence of death

 

But God the deliverer

In whom we rely

In him our hope

Deliverance continued

 

Helped by prayers

The communion of saints

Thanks we return

Favor granted

 

For God is faithful

No mixed messages

In Jesus it’s Yes

Promises kept

 

No limit to promises

In Christ all Yes

Through him, Amen

God be glorified

 

Standing firm in Christ

Anointed are we

His ownership seal

Set by God

 

And in our hearts

His Spirit a deposit

Guaranteeing

What is to come

 

On 2 Corinthians 1:1-11
