Day 37: Jesus, You Help Me Say Yes To You

This is a short one today because I’m out of town with family. It may be short, but I promise I will continue my thoughts on this in future days. It’s probably one of the most profound for us in our pilgrimage of the heart. Jesus helps me say yes to Him in our relationship. Yes to salvation, yes to following Him, yes to surrender, yes to forgiving others, and yes to so much more. Paul says, “With regard to his own promises, God did not vacillate between “Yes” and “No”; rather, his assured “Yes” has taken effect in Christ. For however many promises God may have made, they all find their corresponding “Yes” in Christ who fulfills them. This is why our “Yes” of concurrence and commitment, our answering “Amen,” goes up to God through Christ and brings God glory through us. And it is none other than this God who causes us, along with you, to be firmly established in our relationship to Christ, the Anointed One, and who consecrated us all for his service. This same God sealed us as his own protected possession when he placed his Spirit in our hearts as the deposit and guarantee of our full inheritance” (2 Corinthians 1:19-22 NI Grk Com).

In this passage I see that the Lord’s promises and His indwelling Spirit help me say yes to Him. I wonder what the Lord is asking of us today. May we say yes to Jesus.

My Response: Lord Jesus, today I say yes to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
