PSALM 105:8 (ABP)
God is still true to his covenant promises — and will continue to be so for thousands of generations — forever.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 (MSG)
Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident.
THE ESSENCE
In Christ Jesus, all the promises of God burst into full bloom.
DAILY FODDER
What does Paul mean, "God's Yes and our Yes together"? How does this put into perspective the aspects of God's ancient promises we don’t fully understand?
PRAYER
Glorious God, you are true to your word. With the arrival of Jesus we begin to realize that you under-promised so you could surprise us with even greater and grander grace. Forgive me for sweating over things I can't understand. Keep these things from blocking my view of Jesus, and his glorious victory over all that is anti-God. I'm going to add my "Amen" to him and what he does. That's the best anyone can do. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
