yes and amen

Have you ever been promised something and then let down when it wasn’t delivered? Or perhaps you’ve made promises in the past and you’ve just not been able to keep them?

We’ve all been there. It makes promises harder to trust doesn’t it? But the Bible says that God’s promises are always true, and through the pages of Scripture there are over 3,000 of them! God isn’t backward about making promises!

In fact, the idea of a promise is that it’s forward! The word means to ‘put forward’. It originally meant to cast before, or throw ahead; that means when someone ‘casts out’ a promise, you have the opportunity to take it, to believe it, or not. Offering a promise gives someone the opportunity to trust you.

The same is true of God. There are promises with your name on, and He’s offering you the chance to trust that what He said was, is, and will always be true.

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” - 2 Corinthians 1:19-20

Today, let’s lean in to the promises He’s made. And if you’re not sure what they are, there are 3,000 of them there in the Bible! Why not search them out and start believing them? It’ll make your day, I promise.
